North Korea is sending more balloons carrying rubbish across the heavily fortified southern border, South Korea's military has said.

It comes just days after North Korea appeared to send at least 200 balloons carrying rubbish over the border in retaliation for propaganda leaflets sent from the south.

South Korea's defence minister Shin Won-sik called it "unimaginably petty and low-grade behaviour" while the military added it is examining the contents of the bags floated over the border by the balloons.

North Korea has yet to comment on the latest batch of balloons, but on Thursday, vice-defence minister Kim Kang Il warned waste paper and filth would be sent over the border so the South could appreciate how much effort it takes to remove them.

People have to remember that Russia has friends and, how many 155 shells did the Neocons force South Korea to dispose of in Ukraine, 500,000, I think. Might not have been very smart...

Manure would probably be very useful for them. Because I hear they fertilize our fields with Human excrement. No joke.

Reminds me of how in the Middle Ages there would be a siege and they would catapult dead bodies and animals into the castle or city.

It is low level emoting by NK.

South Korea sends ideas and North Korea sends garbage.

"I hear they fertilize our fields with Human excrement."

Yup, I was there in the mid 60's. They use it on the rice paddys. The South did anyways, I can only assume the North did likewise..

Sounds like a great way to test lasers and see if they could be brought down on the North Korean side.
