North Korea has dropped at least 260 balloons carrying rubbish in the South, prompting authorities to warn its residents to stay indoors.

South Korea’s military also cautioned the public against touching the white balloons and the plastic bags attached to them because they contain “filthy waste and trash”.

The balloons have been found in eight of nine provinces in South Korea and are now being analysed.

    I remember one big thing was thumb drives with south korean tv shows which the people really want and the government really does not want them to have. It seems north koreans will watch the shows even though its extremely risky for them to do so.

        im not sure you need a computer per se. some tvs can list media from a drive and you can click to play it. still I would be surprised the average even has that from what I see. Would not be surprised if the priveleged are taking the risk and they have more to lose.
