North Korea sent some 600 balloons carrying trash into South Korea overnight, Seoul said on June 2, in Pyongyang's latest move to rile its rival neighbour.

The balloons carrying garbage such as cigarette butts, cloth, paper waste and plastic were found across the capital from 8 p.m. to 10 a.m. (1100 GMT on June 1 to 0100 GMT on June 2), South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said.

It said the military was monitoring the starting point of the balloons, which have large bags of trash suspended beneath them, and conducting aerial reconnaissance to track down and collect them. Emergency alerts were issued in North Gyeongsang and Gangwon provinces and some parts of Seoul, urging people not to come into contact with the balloons and to alert police.

North Korea on Wednesday (May 29) also sent hundreds of balloons carrying trash and excrement across the heavily fortified border as what it called "gifts of sincerity". Seoul responded angrily, calling the move dangerous.
