Why North Korea is flying rubbish-filled balloons into South Korea

Pyongyang says it’s in response to Seoul distributing anti-North propaganda leaflets into cities and towns across the North.

In this episode of the Briefing we take a deep dive with Justin Hastings, Professor of International Relations at the University of Sydney, on why the campaign was launched and what it means for hostilities between the two nations separated since the Korean War in the 1950s.
