Discover the strange saga of North Korea's trash balloon attacks on South Korea. Find out why tensions are rising and how the two countries are responding.

North Korea's recent trash balloon attacks on South Korea have led to escalating tensions between the two countries. Seoul has decided to freeze the inter-Korean military deal in response to the provocative tit-for-tat balloon excursions. South Korean soldiers have been busy examining the trash carried by the balloons that crossed the border, littering various parts of the country.

The trash-dropping balloons have prompted South Korea to suspend the military deal with North Korea. The continuous stream of balloons carrying trash from North Korea has caused outrage in South Korea, with hundreds of balloons releasing waste that landed across the border. This move has pushed South Korea to nullify the peace deal temporarily to retaliate against North Korea's actions.

In a bizarre turn of events, North Korea reportedly dumped trash on South Korea as part of the escalated tensions between the two nations. The trash balloon campaign marks a strange and unexpected twist in the already strained relationship between North and South Korea. Despite North Korea signaling a pause in the trash-balloon campaign, South Korea is moving forward with its decision to suspend the 2018 military pact with North Korea.

North Korea's trash-balloon campaign has garnered significant attention, with over 700 balloons being launched across the border. In a surprising announcement, North Korea has vowed to halt the trash-balloon campaign. However, South Korea remains steadfast in its decision to suspend the military pact, indicating a continued rift between the two countries.
