North Korea appears to be sending more trash-laden balloons toward South Korea. 

The South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff(JCS) said North Korea began another balloon launch around 5:20 a.m. Wednesday and that the balloons are likely to drift toward the capital and northern Gyeonggi Province. 

The JCS warned the public to be aware of falling objects and not to touch any balloons, but instead to report them to a nearby military unit or police station.

The latest trash balloon launch comes ten days after the previous one. 

In late September, the JCS warned that the South Korean military would take “stern military measures” if it decided North Korea had crossed the line or if it inflicted serious damage on the South Korean people with its trash balloon campaign.
