  • North Korea floated another 720 trash-filled balloons into South Korea, local reports said.
  • Pyongyang says it is retaliation for activists sending anti-North Korean leaflets across the border.
  •  Kim Yo Jong, sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, called the balloons "sincere presents."

North Korea launched another 720 balloons across its border with South Korea Saturday night, carrying plastic bags full of cigarette butts, scraps of cloth, and waste paper.

Pyongyang says it was retaliation for activists sending anti-North Korean leaflets and USB drives containing K-pop music across the border.
