Important Takeaways:

• North Korea sent another wave of trash-filled balloons drifting into South Korea Wednesday, but this time, some of the garbage landed on the grounds of the South Korean presidential compound in Seoul and a U.S. military base nearby, seemingly disrupting some operations there.
• The office of President Yoon Suk Yeol said it monitored the balloons’ flight path in real-time and “accurately measured the landing location, then safely took action after it fell” on the compound’s grounds.
• Authorities didn’t attempt to shoot down the balloon headed for the presidential compound to avoid causing any damage, and because at the time it was unclear what the balloon could be carrying. In the end, it was just more trash, following a pattern of recent North Korean balloon launches in a tit-for-tat propaganda fight with the South.
• A chemical, biological and radiological response team that responded to the presidential compound concluded that “the object was not dangerous or contaminated, so we collected it and will continue to monitor it,” officials said.
