'Low class' NKorea sends 'trash, feces' to SKorea

SEOUL — North Korea has sent balloons full of trash, toilet paper and suspected animal feces into the South, local media reports said on Wednesday, with Seoul's military slamming Pyongyang for its 'low class' actions.

Photographs showing white balloons bearing bags full of trash and what appeared to be excrement were shared widely by South Korean media after the North warned last weekend it would shower border areas in 'mounds of wastepaper and filth' to punish Seoul.
