Photographs shared on social media show bags attached via string to white translucent balloons carrying toilet paper, dark soil, and batteries, among other contents.

Police and military officers are seen in some of these photographs.

South Korea’s Yonhap news agency reported that “some of the fallen balloons carried what appears to be faeces judging from its dark colour and odour”.

South Korea’s military condemned the act as a “clear violation of international law”.

    I remember a defector on a podcast telling about how she was wondering what a trash can was in the safe house in China and how foreign concept “trash” was to her. They don’t consume anything that comes in a package and if it does it’s then repurposed for something else but definitely will not get thrown away.
