North Korea drops trash balloons on South Korea | BBC News

- North Korea has dropped at least 260 balloons carrying "filthy waste and trash" in South Korea, according to officials.
South Korea's military warned its residents to stay indoors and cautioned the public against touching the white balloons and the plastic bags attached to them.
The recent incident comes days after North Korea said it would retaliate against the "frequent scattering of leaflets and other rubbish" in border areas by activists in the South.
Southern activists are believed to have launched balloons carrying among other things, cash, banned media content, and even Choco Pies - a South Korean snack banned in the North.

How amazingly childish
I know, right? South Korea has been doing this for ages ! But it is the first time that the North replied in kind.

This is complete pettyness.
I say that about the anglo-saxony people, petty, as well as ignorant of course.
Childish
Or just some spurious nonsense made up by the BBC. As per. I'm sure NK say we drop rubbish bombs on France or something. Clearly a made up story
Which one
more like based.
I live in the province where this happened and it triggered a Preliminary Air Raid alert on my phone.
scary.
Well, it's still technically an air raid, I guess; even though these raids aren't really lethal by themselves.
i.e. you have those rapid disposal teams and such, and they didn't drop the... y'know, these "things" they always boast about.
Even then, I guess it was really scary even if it's on the phone, not through public air sirens. Hearing sirens while living right next door to a hostile country (technically) having the ability to shred your nation's biggest city and capital to pieces after just 30 minutes of a war declaration sure must be horrifying.
Well, it could have been anything. You never know what is inside these balloons or any other flying objects coming from NK, so it’s better to be careful

They already did, started it sending leaflets and k pop, just show in kind how they feel about the taste in music I suppose
They can't send it back due to wind direction 😂

South Korea should have sent lollies and chocolates. "Willy Wonka" the North Koreans so they know what they're missing. 🍭🍬🍫🍪
I'm from South Korea. Some civic groups in S.Korea have sent rice, USB, etc. in balloons. Rice is a very important resource in North Korea and is more valuable than anything to ordinary citizens in N.Korea. Because chocolate and candy are snacks, but rice is a staple food.
@OASIS010 May I ask u a question since u are from there? The people still living in North Korea... do they want change and better, or are they genuinely under the impression that their leader is good and believe in his policies and how he runs the country? This is a genuine question I promise. I have always had interest in things going on in the world and always wondered this? Do u think they will ever rise up against there leader? Or are they content with how everything is right now. I know there are alot of defectors that wanted better for there life but what about the majority in North Korea? Is it fear that holds them back? Sorry for the long question. Just genuinely curious
Don't be naive, look at Haiti, i don't think they are devouring chocolate bars.

Send it back

Good chance for the poor and suffering NK citizens to send messages of help!
@@curiositycloset2359What do they do?
@@DarlaOforiwaa3357 Depends on who you ask or where one get sources from, but on the perspective of those openly or secretly supporting North Korea (whether that's a joke or not i dont care), the South Korea had sent balloons full of "trash" (trigger word: -food and DvD's).-
While N.Koreas people are starving, Kim spends his money on sending balloons of trash to S.Korea, such a child
LMAO. Asian passive aggression.
Make sure there isnt any viruses in the balloon or on the trash...
I HOPE YOU ARE BEING SARCASTIC........OTHERWISE, ITS TIME FOR YOUR BOOSTER.
Nope it is not from china so no 🦠🦠
North Korea is petty af 😭😭
The South sends cash and goodies north. The North replies by sending poop and garbage south. It doesn't seem like a worthwhile conversation for the South.
What's wrong with him 😂
Fecal testing will determine that.
"This is just petty", this is North Korea we're talking about, their entire existence is built off pettiness stemming from the USSR.
Thats so trashy
WW4 will be fought with sticks and stones someone once said, but didn't know what weapons WW3 would be fought with.

@@benjamindover4337or a dictatorship!

How childish can they be?
Whole country is comedy channel😂😂😂😂🤣
Actually it's the opposite,
first, some south Korean activists send balloons with K-pop (basically the Korean imitation of US black music /hip hop etc...) , drama/tv,
shows and propaganda against Kim Jong UN etc ...
North Korea responded to this provocation by sending trash in their own balloon to say "you send us trash we do the same" .
It's a way for them to say that Americanized Korean music and drama is trash .(Plus for them it's one more sign of American influence on the peninsula) .
Some older Koreans like my dad (73) or myself (27 but born in France) would think it's stupid and immature to act like this with north Korean (especially if we want reconciliation instead of a rise of conflict) ,
but the South Korean government didn't do anything about it and seems to like the idea of sending balloons.
North didn't send anything initially but only after receiving the balloon decided to do the same , replacing K-pop with trash to express what they think about it
(understandable considering art history and small exposure to US music from them, different taste , just like my parents ).
South Korean government didn't like the fact the north treated K-pop balloons as trash so decided to do more .
Initially it was activist but then the government decided to join.
If you have more questions don't hesitate (i'll meet my dad soon so might talk about that)
Can only send what you have.
K-pop on USB sticks 😂😂😂
This is probably just a test for when they drop other things from the balloons, such as Biological weapons.
Technically, excrement could be classed as such.
@@primalconvoytrash could carry infectious agents as well.

If the dictator is childish, wat do u expect?? 😅
The one thing the north koreans have, that isn't fake...
The people of Korea (either North or South) deserve a better deal than these infantile behaviour from their leaders.
Everyone gives the best of what they have. South Korea has sent them truthful information, goods, medicine, and food. But the North Korean government gave the South the best of what they had from their heart.
Weird comparison, but OK
But the painful truth is that it's hard to convince both to give up on their stances. Both sees the other side as sworn enemies, both seeks to protect the way things were and are in the areas they have authority to rule over, and both only could think about that. If you want to protect your state from another hostile state, you must have an armed force capable to serve as deterrence to military actions first, a strong foundation for the people to "accept" (i.e. not sympathising with the enemy) the current situation second, and (perhaps most importantly) actions to sway the enemy population to their side. That's what both sides of the DMZ are doing.
They don't realise the population's all Korean - plainly Koreans. They sure must still have a thing or two in common and some might still long for reunification, as like Vietnam in the 50s, 60s and 70s. Anyways, time will tell if they'll eat each other alive, leave each other be or stop this entire escalade stuff and fuse again into an united Korea. As a military geek, my best guess is the first one.
@Music1art 😂 now it makes more sense both countries do it, but South Korea sends useful stuff
It's the north
Imagine being in the team that prepares the balloon
The family can be known as "Kim Flung Dung"
😂
About as pathetic and childish as our government 😂
So this is the advanced north Korean air force weapons they were talking about.
Kim had to send his diapers somewhere I suppose
If you want North Korea to stop sending poop balloons just act like you're getting all kinds of great DNA about the people😂😂😂😂
HOLY SHIT
Remember, this is going in the history books.
I thought North Korean President was a trash balloon 🤔🤔🤔
excrement? childish!
Some people call this petty... you all forgot how South Korea has also been balloons to the North too, long before this.
It is kinda fair that North Korea responded in kind.
But still, all these balloon flying & blaring out music on the border are honestly childish whether it's the South or the North doing it.
The South's Ballons have nice things
@@NyanyiC Regardless, these kinds of balloons are airspace risk that wastes times & resources for both North and South Korea.
@@NyanyiC
They were sending BTS records
That's more disgusting than trash balloons
Just imagine being a leader in North Korea, and called into a meeting to discuss sending poop balloons to the south. 😂 it was probably a vote between poop balloons, toilet paper, and fake snakes. Way to keep the kid pranks alive North Korea.
So how old are these kids then?
The reporter keeps on stuttering. 🤦♂️
A bit childish innit?
There was a documentary about someone who escaped from North Korea who said they were required to gather poop. If they didn’t turn any in they could be sent to the prisons and disappear forever. Children had to do this during school. They used it on their farms where they grew vegetables, not on farms near the people, they had no access to the food.
Russian allies...not surprising.
We don’t know if they are practicing or experimenting for something else…they might throw something worse in the future.. So Koreans need to prepare..i might be dramatic but who knows what will happen. We need to be alert.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
What we should know is that these types of operations are never conducted for ethics or for respect for life. Actions on North Korea within South Korea are very sensitive. It is very deeply linked to political issues. A faction called the right wing in South Korea takes a very hard line against North Korea. The government in Yoon Suk Yeol, which is in power now, is the right wing. They value South Korea's national prestige and are extremely critical of the country, which is now a legal enemy. They insist that if North Korea provokes, it should use several times more weapons to hit the North. They say that if we show firm ability to respond to North Korean provocations, the North will no longer attempt provocations. The effect was proved by Defense Minister Kim Kwan-jin, who served in 2010. It is called the "Kim Kwan-jin Effect." But the faction called the left wing makes a different argument. They say that North and South Korea should be respected, and that in order to make true peace, they should reduce military conflicts against North Korea's provocations and change people's perception of North Korea. They are also reluctant to call North Korea an enemy (the left is also involved in a number of spies). The spies have been caught leaking confidential military data, trying to paralyze subways used by citizens, or planning terror attacks). The compromise of these sensitive opinions is the loudspeaker broadcasting. Loudspeaker broadcasts have appeared through loudspeakers that can damage the North Korean system without having to fight like the Yeonpyeong shelling. The reason why K-pop is played on the loudspeaker action is that it helps prompt resistance from North Koreans, not just because the country is a fan of K-pop. Please don't think of South Korea as a K-pop fan. I think it is a serious problem for some people to equate the government with K-pop
Kpoop
Wow seems like a joke.
Now the North Koreans know how balloons flote, travel mabey next time chemicle wepands . Come to think about it didn't Chine do the same thing to US last year.
At least the north is willing to admit that their own ideas are comparable to waste.
I used to think kim is very serious man, I never thought he might have such jokes!😂😂😂😂😂
What if it indicates they want to start a war with South Korea
Hey, don't balloon things out of proportion please

So let me get this straight: South Korea first initiated the incident by sending balloons filled with propaganda over the boarder.
And then North Korea responded by floating trash balloons over?
And yet people in the comments want to call North Korea petty? I hate to say it but Kim actually earned a little respect from me and people in the comments are insane.
