SEOUL: A North Korean balloon carrying trash landed on Seoul's presidential compound on Thursday (Oct 24), authorities said, with local media reporting it contained propaganda leaflets ridiculing President Yoon Suk-yeol and his wife.
Activist groups in South Korea have long sent propaganda northwards, typically carried by balloons, including leaflets, US dollar bills and sometimes USB drives containing K-pop or K-dramas, which are banned in the tightly controlled North.
