North Korea launched trash-carrying balloons toward South Korea on Wednesday, with some pieces of garbage landing on the presidential office compound in Seoul, Yonhap News Agency reported, citing the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) and the Presidential Security Service.Earlier in the day, the Presidential Security Service discovered fallen trash on the grounds of the complex in central Seoul, as North Korea sent more balloons carrying pieces of scrap paper and other trash. An analysis of the fallen objects showed they did not present a danger. "An investigation by the chemical, biological and radiological response team showed the objects did not present a danger or contamination, so they were retrieved. We are continuing to monitor in cooperation with the Joint Chiefs of Staff " the security service was quoted as saying.The launch, which marked the second of its kind this week, came as the South Korean military blared anti-Pyongyang broadcasts in full-scale through its border loudspeakers for the fourth day i n response to the North's continued launches. The North has launched more than 3,000 trash-carrying balloons since late May, including some 500 such balloons Sunday, in protest of anti-Pyongyang propaganda leaflets sent by activists in South Korea across the border.Source: Kuwait News Agency
