Residents of border regions, along with 24 civic groups including the Minjokmunje Institute and the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions, gathered at Imjingak on June 26th to express their deep concern over the ongoing distribution of leaflets to North Korea. They highlighted the significant disruptions to their daily lives caused by these large balloons, which are leading to sleep disturbances and anxiety. The group urged the authorities to take immediate action to stop this practice and ensure the safety of residents.
