They have also said that they have seen signs that North Korea has set up its own loudspeakers at the border. In South Korea, several hundred balloons filled with garbage and excrement have flown in over the past week. The governing authorities in South Korea react seriously to it, and describe the balloons as dangerous. Balloon propaganda for years That the two neighbors send balloons across the borders is far from new, even if the technique has been little used in recent years. Already during the Korean War in the 1950s, balloons were sent between the South and the North, usually with propaganda and information about the war. In the 1950s, it was mainly the military and the government that sent the balloons off guard. Such balloons have been sent across the border to South Korea in recent weeks.

In 2020, South Korea made it illegal to send leaflets with propaganda across the border, both in balloons and in bottled mail. Published 10.06.2024, at 20.56
