South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff confirmed that North Korea continued its balloon launch campaign and warned that the balloons could fly toward Seoul and surrounding Gyeonggi Province.
Since late May, North Korea has launched thousands of balloons filled with trash in retaliation for a campaign of anti-Pyongyang leaflets sent across the border by defectors and North Korean activists in South Korea.
In response to the balloon launches, the South Korean military has been broadcasting anti-North Korean propaganda programs daily through loudspeakers at the border since July 21.
