Why is North Korea Sending Trash-filled Balloons to the South? | Vantage with Palki Sharma

North Korea has sent balloons full of trash, toilet paper and suspected animal faeces into the South, local media reports said Wednesday, with Seoul's military slamming Pyongyang for their "low class" actions. Photographs showing white balloons bearing garbage bags full of trash and what appeared to be excrement were shared widely by South Korean media, after the North warned this weekend, it would shower border areas in "mounds of wastepaper and filth" to punish Seoul. North Korea has sent propaganda balloons across the border before in 2016, but balloons filled with faeces is a first. But what explains this "trashy" attack by Pyongyang? Palki Sharma tells you.
