North Korea again launched what appear to be trash-laden balloons toward South Korea early Tuesday morning.

The South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff(JCS) said the North began another balloon launch around 5:10 a.m. and that the balloons are likely to move toward the capital and northern Gyeonggi Province, considering the direction of the wind.

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

It is the second consecutive day the North has sent trash balloons over the inter-Korean border.

Since May 28, the North has launched thousands of trash-laden balloons on 26 occasions.
