SEOUL, South Korea—A South Korean group launched hundreds of thousands of leaflets by balloon across the border into North Korea overnight, an activist said on June 23, even after repeated warnings from the North that it would retaliate against such actions.
Activist Park Sang-hak said his organization floated 20 huge balloons carrying 500,000 leaflets, 2,000 one-dollar bills, and small books over North Korea from the border town of Paju on the night of June 22.
