According to South Korean news agency Yonhap, an estimated 2,000 garbage balloons have been sent over so far. The responding deluge of balloons from North Korea, some carrying manure and used toilet paper, seems to have emboldened the activists. AdvertisementWith the activists appearing to ignore that condition, North Korea's balloon launches resumed. Seoul's military chiefs told South Korean news agency Yonhap that the contents of the latest balloon-lifted bags weren't toxic. North Korea, for its part, has threatened in the past to destroy the speakers with military strikes.

North Korean drones entered South Korean airspace on Monday for the first time since 2017. The South Korean military responded by firing shots at the drones, though the country's defense ministry could not confirm if any drones were shot down. "This is a clear provocation, and an invasion of our airspace by North Korea," South Korean defense official Lee Seung-oh said during a briefing. The last time a North Korean drone entered South Korean airspace was five years ago, according to the South Korean military. On Friday, South Korea said North Korea launched two short-range ballistic missiles, according to CNN.
