SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korea says trash carried by a North Korean balloon has fallen on the presidential compound in central Seoul. It’s the second time since North Korea began floating trash-carrying balloons toward South Korea since late May in a resumption of Cold War-style psychological campaign. South Korea’s presidential security service says the trash fallen on the presidential compound on Thursday morning carried no dangerous items. The incidents have raised worries about the security of key South Korean facilities. It wasn’t immediately known whether President Yoon Suk Yeol was at the compound at the time.
