00:00 North Korea has said it would stop sending balloons carrying rubbish to South Korea but
00:06 promised to resume if anti-regime leaflets are flown over the border.
00:11 The balloons started on Saturday, carrying rubbish like cigarette butts, paper waste
00:16 and plastic. Pyongyang said they were in retaliation for a propaganda campaign by North Korean
00:22 defectors and activists in the South. Seoul blasted the practice as "unimaginably petty"
00:28 and promised "unendurable countermeasures."
