North Korea has resumed provocations with trash balloons against the South for the first time in five days.

A large number of anti-South Korean leaflets were found in the balloon drop,

In particular, balloon debris fell to the presidential office building in Yongsan.

I'll connect with a reporter to hear more about it. Reporter Lee Jong Won!

A series of reports about finding balloon drops?

[Reporter]
Yes, let's take a look at the pictures and videos that viewers sent us.

It's around Itaewon Station in Yongsan-gu, Seoul this morning.There are so many leaflets scattered around

that they look red.The large street trees of

look like snow, and paper sheets hang from branch to branch.

At a glance, it looks like there are about a hundred sheets.

The leaflets are full of raw expressions criticizing the Yoon Suk Yeol presidents and their wives.

If you look at a video taken by a viewer, it also shows the debris of balloons falling.

Three or four balloon-shaped plastic bags were tied together and fell in the wind.

All of them are trash balloon drops sent by North Korea.

This morning alone, about 20 were supported, and about 10 drops were found in the Seoul metropolitan area.

Some of the trash balloons sent by North Korea also fell on the presidential office in Yongsan, so there's no damage, right?

[Reporter]
Yes, North Korean garbage balloons were found in the presidential office building again following last July.

The presidential office's security office said it found trash falling from the area of the government building early this morning when a North Korean garbage balloon exploded in the air.

As a result of the safety inspection, it was confirmed that there was no risk or contamination, and it was collected, and explained that it is continuously being monitored in cooperation with the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

North Korea's balloon provocation is the first in five days since the 19th, and it is already the 30th this year.

At first, filth was put in and blown away, but recently, most household waste such as paper and vinyl was found.

But today, for the first time, we sent balloons containing leaflets from South Korea.

North Korea even released photos of drone debris, claiming that South Korean drones penetrated Pyongyang and sprayed leaflets against the North, which seems to be a counter-measure.
