Photographs shared on social media show bags attached via string to white translucent balloons carrying toilet paper, dark soil, and batteries, among other contents.
Police and military officers are seen in some of these photographs.
South Korea’s Yonhap news agency reported that “some of the fallen balloons carried what appears to be faeces judging from its dark colour and odour”.
South Korea’s military condemned the act as a “clear violation of international law”.

I legitimately can’t tell from the headlines whether North Korea stories are satire at this point.
The problem with news about North Korea is that tabloids and defectors can literally just make shit up and it will be republished uncritically by “respectable” news sources so you have no way to judge its credibility.
Or maybe it’s all true, and to get between cities, north koreans have to pull the train to the next city. Which is actually a fake city, surrounded by fake farms, attended by fake farmers. Then they steal hollywood movies and are immediately executed by anti-aircraft gun for watching western media.
Why is that hard to believe? Now if North Korea claimed to find official legos for cheap? Then I could imagine your disbelief.
Imagine how much nicer the world be if more international conflicts were fought with turd balloons.
Imagine how much nicer the world would be if more people imagined pooploons at all.
Until they drop little boy for tests, then suddenly you got Hiroshima and Nagasaki all over again…but with shit chain reactions.
If we aim right, we can fertilize our crops while we war.
Ah, the famous Nena song, “99 Luftturds”.
There’s something here from somewhere else! 🎶💃🏽
My trash company didn’t pick up my trash this week, and this gives me some ideas… BRB, gotta go rent a helium tank
Do you have a rental storage place around you that offers 10 dollars a month intro pricing? You can just leave your garbage there. Pay one month, cash, and never come back.
This is illegal
How so?
I’m sure they have a rule against filling it with perishable food, but those are composable anyway.
Dumping garbage is illegal
You’re not dumping it, you’re storing it. After non-payment, they’ll auction it off to someone and they’ll dump it.
Bruh. Someone had to actively put shit in a balloon.
Those are probably just normal North Korean trash bags. Throwing shitty TP in the trash is very common in countries with bad plumbing.
I remember a defector on a podcast telling about how she was wondering what a trash can was in the safe house in China and how foreign concept “trash” was to her. They don’t consume anything that comes in a package and if it does it’s then repurposed for something else but definitely will not get thrown away.
Quite a disgusting act.
Canada should do this to the states.
Maybe throw in a pack of pre-rolls every once in a while.
You sound like a terrible pen pal. Wanna be mine?
I’ll be your huckleberry.
“It seriously threatens the safety of our people. North Korea is entirely liable for what happens due to the balloons and we sternly warn North Korea to immediately stop this inhumane and crass action,” the military said.
It does not help South Korea when they make silly statements like this.
You’re saying floating balloons carrying human faeces AREN’T a public health hazard?
A public health hazard is definitely a different league than inhumane and act of war. It’s a little silly if anything, considering the large number And long history of pamphlets sent North from the South.
