According to South Korean officials, the debris landed on the national compound in central Seoul on Thursday, a remarkable security lapse, according to South Korean officials. This is the next event of its kind since North Korea resumed sending balloon-borne debris toward South Korea in soon May, reviving Cold War psychological war strategies.
The North Korean government’s security services confirmed that the particles was free of any dangerous materials. President Yoon Suk Yeol’s presence at the substance is still a mystery, though.
According to experts, North Korea lacks the sophisticated technologies to accurately target certain areas.
The most recent balloons, according to local press information, including the Dong-A Ilbo magazine, contained advertising flyers and debris that disparaged President Yoon and Second Lady Kim Keon Hee. These flyers were apparently scattered across Seoul’s Yongsan neighborhood, house to the national office. Additionally, the article pointed out that North Korea may have begun delivering these bubbles to their intended destinations more precisely using GPS systems.
The bubble plan comes after North Korea claims that South Korea has flown drones to Pyongyang three occasions this month to drop advertising leaflets. Authorities in North Korea have warned of military reprisals if these incidents continue. South Korea has issued a harsh reminder that any threat to the safety of its people would stop the North Vietnamese government, despite not having confirmed drone use.
Similar bubble incidents occurred in July when a North Korean blimp carrying trash also landed on the political compound, raising questions about the security of crucial North Korean facilities. No harmful materials were discovered in the dirt at the time, unlike in the most recent case.
