SEOUL, South Korea — A South Korean activist has floated propaganda balloons including footage of protests in the Middle East toward North Korea, despite Pyong yang’s threat to retaliate.
Park Sang-Hak said the balloons were launched today from a hill near the border. They also carried $1 bills and 200,000 propaganda leaflets.
The move came days after North Korea’s military said it would fire at South Korean border towns if Seoul doesn’t stop the leaflets. South Korea says it cannot do that, citing freedom-of-speech protections.
