Press Statement by Vice-Minister of National Defence of DPRK

Pyongyang, June 2 (KCNA) -- Kim Kang Il, vice-minister of National Defence of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, made public the following press statement on Sunday:

From the night of May 28 to the dawn of June 2, we scattered 15 tons of wastepaper, favorite toy of the human scum, over the border areas of the ROK and its capital region with more than 3 500 balloons of various sorts.

We made the ROK clans get enough experience of how much unpleasant they feel and how much effort is needed to remove the scattered wastepaper.

We are going to halt wastepaper scattering over the border temporarily as our action was a countermeasure from A to Z.

But, if the ROK clans resume anti-DPRK leaflet scattering, we will correspond to it by intensively scattering wastepaper and rubbish hundred times the amount of scattered leaflets and the number of cases, as we have already warned. -0-

    I think DPRK sending trash balloons to South Korea in response to South Korea's propaganda leaflets is an incredible power move.

    The simplest conflict for the South to resolve lmao, last I heard they whined that this was an "inhumane attack" so I wonder how much more crying there will be before they just stop sending bullshit over.

    South Korean Defence Minister Shin Won-sik told U.S. Defense Secretary Austin Lloyd at a conference in Singapore on Sunday that the balloons violated the armistice agreement, according to South Korea's military.

    The two reaffirmed a coordinated response to any North Korean threats and provocations based on the South Korea-U.S. alliance's combined defence posture, it said (REUTERS).

    "Maybe."
