North Korea is sending more balloons carrying trash and excrement across the heavily fortified border to South Korea, South Korea's military said on Saturday.

It had already sent hundreds of balloons carrying trash and excrement earlier this week, which South Korea's defence minister Shin Won-sik called "unimaginably petty and low-grade bahavior" earlier on Saturday.

South Korea's military asked the public not to touch the balloons and report them to authorities, according to a statement.
