North Korea launched a fresh wave of “trash balloons" toward its southern neighbors Wednesday night, according to local media.

SEOUL: North Korea again started floating balloons into South Korea on Thursday (Sept 5) morning, South Korea's military said, hours after it sent hundreds of balloons across the border the previous day.

A fire in a Seoul apartment complex, reportedly ignited by balloons from North Korea, was extinguished quickly with no injuries.

North Korea continued its aggressive behavior against South Korea throughout the Chuseok holidays, firing another round of short-range ballistic missiles (SRMBs) and cruise missiles and launching more trash-laden balloons across the border Wednesday.

North Korea launched more than 160 balloons carrying trash toward South Korea last night to drop dozens of garbage bundles across northwestern parts of the country, the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said Thursday.
