North Korea deployed anti-aircraft artillery near its southern border after a South Korean NGO sent hundreds of thousands of anti-aircraft leaflets, carried on balloons, to North Korea, according to Russia Today.
And saw channel "KBS" South Korean TV that this step taken by Pyongyang indicates its willingness to fire at balloons of chainsaws in the future, although some of the missiles may fall on the territory of South Korea.
It is noteworthy that groups, some of which include dissidents from North Korea, have been launching balloons carrying propaganda leaflets against the Pyongyang regime, and sending them from the border regions to the northern part.
From April 25 to April 29, a non-governmental organization called "Fighters for a Free North Korea" launched 10 helium-filled balloons with 500,000 propaganda leaflets, 500 brochures and 5,000 one-dollar notes to North Korea from the border areas. In Gyeonggi and Gangwon provinces, Pyongyang considered the move a "dangerous provocation that requires response," and blamed the authorities for it in Seoul.
In June 2020, the North Korean army blew up the inter-Korean liaison office in the border city of Kaesong. The move came in response to the distribution of propaganda leaflets by South Korean NGO activists.
The subsequent deterioration in relations between the two Koreas prompted Seoul to take deterrent measures for those sending such balloons, including the adoption of new laws banning the sending of publications critical of Pyongyang from the border regions.
