 at the close of the month. North Korea is once again sending garbage balloons over the DMZ into South Korea. Since May, the North has floated thousands of balloons filled with trash and excrement over the border. Over the weekend, South Korea's military resumed a round-the-clock loudspeaker broadcast aimed at North Korea, calling their actions despicable, shameful and vulgar. Shortly after the broadcast, North Korean garbage balloons started sailing over the border once again.
