North Korea launched balloons likely carrying trash toward South Korea for the second straight day, Sunday, according to the South's military. The Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said it detected the latest launches, noting the balloons could travel toward the northern part of Gyeonggi Province, which surrounds Seoul, and the broader capital area.

Since late May, the North has launched thousands of trash-carrying balloons toward the South in retaliation for anti-Pyongyang leaflets sent across the border by North Korean defectors and activists in South Korea.

In response, South Korea's military has been blasting daily anti-Pyongyang propaganda broadcasts through its loudspeakers on the border. North Korea has bristled at the leaflet and loudspeaker campaigns on fears that an influx of outside information could pose a threat to the Kim Jong-un regime.
