Balloons carrying rubbish sent by North Korea have landed in South Korea’s presidential compound in the capital city of Seoul, say officials. It is the first time the South Korean leader’s office, which is a designated no-fly zone, has been hit by balloons launched by Pyongyang.
A chemical, biological and radiological warfare response team was sent to collect the balloons, the presidential security service said. They were found to pose no contamination or safety risk.
