On June 9, 2024, North Korea released 'waste-filled balloons' toward South Korea for the third time, with about 80 of the 330 balloons dropping scraps over Seoul and surrounding areas, prompting South Korea to resume 'psychological warfare broadcasts' from the border. South Korea's military announced their readiness to respond to provocations, as the South Korean presidential office emphasized sending messages of hope while condemning attempts causing anxiety and societal disruptions. The incident follows previous instances where North Korea had sent similar balloons filled with 'human waste' over the border.
