North Korean soldiers working in the Demilitarized Zone separating the two Koreas briefly crossed into the South again Tuesday before returning to their side after the South fired warning shots, the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said.

Breaking: North Korean troops enter South Korea, retreats after Seoul fires warning shots

North and South Korea are in a standoff. Several trash balloons crossed the demarcation line. Now, the demarcation line was crossed by N Korean soldiers. South Korean forces fired warning shots. North Korean troops breached the heavily guarded military demarcation line close to the border. Soon after seeing soldiers trespassing, the South Korean military fired warning shots.

Dozens of North Korean soldiers briefly crossed the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) on Tuesday (June 18) but retreated after warning shots were fired, according to South Korean authorities.

Dozens of North Korean soldiers briefly crossed the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) on Tuesday (June 18) but retreated after warning shots were fired, according to South Korean authorities. South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said that landmine explosions near the border injured multiple North Korean soldiers. The JCS said that Pyongyang had recently deployed troops in the area to clear scrub and lay mines, as relations between the two Koreas plummet. The Tuesday crossing -- like a previous one on June 9 -- was accidental, with some 20 to 30 North Korean soldiers carrying work tools involved in the incident, it added. Speaking to the news agency AFP, a JCS official said, "Dozens of North Korean troops crossed the Military Demarcation Line today... (and) retreated northwards after warning shots were fired." 'Pyongyang pressing ahead with operations' North Korean soldiers tasked with reinforcing the border suffered multiple casualties from "repeated landmine explosion incidents" but they "appear to be recklessly pressing ahead with the operations", the official added.

Seoul reacts The official also said that Pyongyang's activities seemed to be a measure to strengthen internal control, such as blocking North Korean troops and North Koreans from defecting to the South. Putin set to visit North Korea Tuesday's incident came just hours before Russian President Vladimir Putin visits Pyongyang, sparking concern in Seoul, which has accused the North of shipping arms to Moscow for use in Ukraine in exchange for help with its nascent satellite programme. The two Koreas remain at war as the 1950-1953 conflict ended in an armistice, and the Demilitarized Zone dividing the peninsula is already one of the most heavily mined places on Earth.

A South Korean gymnasium has been facing criticism for banning misbehaving "aunties". The centre displayed signs reading - "off limits to ahjummas" and "only cultivated and elegant women allowed". Such terms are often used in the nation to discriminate against older women.&nbsp;

On Blind, which is a platform for verified employees, a post grabbed eyeballs. The post stated that a gym in Incheon City, 27km from the capital Seoul, hung the offensive signs.&nbsp;

The post categorically mentioned that 'ahjummas' were not allowed. The word ahjumma, which is considered rude, is commonly used to refer to older women, especially those over 30 years of age.&nbsp;

Not just the odd remarks, the gym also listed attributes that differentiate "ahjumma" from "women". As per the list, an "ahjumma" is a woman who likes free things regardless of age, gets sworn at everywhere but does not know the reason why, sits in a seat reserved for pregnant women on public transport, secretly throws food waste into a public bathroom or other toilets.&nbsp;

The list also says that "ahjumma" is someone who is frugal and has poor memory and judgement.&nbsp;

North Korea is building roads and walls inside the Demilitarised Zone (DMZ) that separates it from the South, a report by the Yonhap news agency said on Saturday (June 15).

North Korea is building roads and walls inside the Demilitarised Zone (DMZ) that separates it from the South, a report by the Yonhap news agency said on Saturday (June 15). Citing a source from the South Korean military, the report said that the construction activities are taking place north of the Military Demarcation Line (MDL) that runs through the middle of the DMZ. The developments come after an incident last week where the South Korean military fired warning shots after North Korean soldiers briefly crossed the MDL. "Recently, the North Korean military has been erecting walls, digging the ground and constructing roads in some areas between the Military Demarcation Line (MDL) and the Northern Limit Line in the DMZ," the South Korean military source, who chose to remain anonymous, told Yonhap. Seoul reacts to building of roads, walls inside DMZ On Saturday, the South Korean military said in a statement that it was closely tracking and monitoring the activities of the North Korean military, adding that a further analysis was required.

A propaganda war Tensions are already high between the two Koreas over the escalation of the propaganda war. Last month, North Korea started sending balloons carrying trash into the South, describing them as retaliation for the propaganda balloons sent the other way by anti-Pyongyang activists. Then, Seoul resumed blasting K-pop songs and news broadcasts in the North, using loudspeakers installed at the border. The resumption of the loudspeaker campaign prompted Kim Yo Jong, the sister of North Korean Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un, to threaten an unspecified "new countermeasure." (With inputs from agencies)

A 4.8 magnitude earthquake struck in southwest South Korea Wednesday, the country's weather agency said, with witnesses reporting a "thunderous roar" although no major damage was reported.

The quake struck four kilometres south of the county of Buan, which is around 205 kilometres south of Seoul, at 8:26 am (1126 GMT), according to the Korea Meteorological Administration.

An alert text message was sent to citizens nationwide, which advised those in affected areas to be cautious of possible falling objects and aftershocks.

A popular South Korean instant noodle brand has been banned by Denmark for being too spicy. The authorities have also advised consumers that the fiery food poses a poisoning risk.&nbsp;

In a statement on Tuesday, the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration noted that three Samyang Foods noodle products were assessed to have dangerous levels of capsaicin.&nbsp;

Capsaicin is a chilli pepper extract which has analgesic properties. It has been used as a homoeopathic remedy to treat burning pain since it was found.&nbsp;

There appears to be no end to the trash Balloons versus propaganda leaflets between North and South Korea the two call it a tit-for-tat offensive. Amid the balloon Warfare with North Korea, South Korean activists are honing their Tech expertise to develop balloons capable of dispersing leaflets and electronic speakers hundreds of kilometers across the border. Watch in for more details!

North Vs South balloon war: South Korean activists make smart balloons to send messages into North

North Korea has once again sent hundreds of balloons filled with trash across the border into South Korea. According to a Yonhap News Agency report citing South Korea's military, Pyongyang&nbsp;floated approximately 310 balloons overnight this time.&nbsp;

The fresh 'trashing' comes after a warning from Kim Yo Jong, the influential sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, about a potential "new counteraction" against South Korea's loudspeaker broadcasts and leaflets.

<h2>No toxic material this time</h2>

"The latest batch of waste-loaded balloons sent late Sunday contained scrap paper and plastic, with no toxic material detected so far," reported Yonhap, quoting South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff. By early Monday, no additional balloons were observed.

<h2>Kim Yo Jong's warning</h2>

In a statement issued on Sunday (June 9), Kim Yo Jong warned South Korea to halt loudspeaker broadcasts and the scattering of leaflets.&nbsp;

According to North Korea's state news agency KCNA, she cautioned, "If the ROK simultaneously carries out the leaflet scattering and loudspeaker broadcasting provocation over the border, it will undoubtedly witness the new counteraction of the DPRK."

Referring to the loudspeaker broadcasts, Kim said, "This is a prelude to a very dangerous situation."

On Sunday, South Korea resumed loudspeaker broadcasts targeting the North. This decision to continue with psychological warfare, as per Reuters, came after North Korea on Saturday (June 8) began launching 330 balloons with trash attached, with about 80 of them dropping over the border. The nation initially started this balloon warfare, labelled a "low class" move by the Seoul military in May, supposedly in retaliation for South's speaker propaganda.

South Korea's broadcasts, part of psychological warfare tactics, were initially halted under a 2018 agreement between the two Koreas' leaders but resumed following the recent provocations.

The loudspeaker broadcasts, which include world news, information about democratic and capitalist societies, and popular K-pop music, can be heard more than 20 kilometres (12.43 miles) into North Korea.&nbsp;

North Korea sends more trash balloons to South amidst warning of 'new counteraction' by Kim Yo Jong

There appears to be no end to the trash Balloons versus propaganda leaflets between North and South Korea the two call it a tit-for-tat offensive. The latest retort comes from North, 700 new trash balloons were launched this monday morning.

North Vs South balloon war: North Korea warns of more trash balloons to be sent to the South

South Korea's National Security Council said on Sunday (June 9) that it would begin loudspeaker broadcasts directed at North Korea that would be unbearable for the Kim Jong Un regime.

South Korea's National Security Council said on Sunday (June 9) that it would begin loudspeaker broadcasts directed at North Korea that would be unbearable for the Kim Jong Un regime. This step comes after Pyongyang resumed sending balloons carrying trash across the border. A report by the news agency Reuters said that the council met on Sunday morning after dozens of balloons with trash attached were found in Seoul and areas near the border earlier in the day and overnight. On Sunday, the South Korean military released photos of one balloon floating on a river in Seoul and rubbish scattered in streets in Seoul with police cordoning off the scene. Balloons issue 'very serious' The military said it took the issue of the balloons "very seriously" and was on alert to take action in response as necessary. Also read | South Korea to suspend military pact with North over trash balloons North Korea started sending balloons carrying trash and manure across the border in May and has said the move was in retaliation to anti-North leaflets flown by South Korean activists as part of a propaganda campaign. A warning to the North Last week, Pyongyang said it would temporarily halt sending the balloons because 15 tonnes of trash it sent was probably enough to get the message across on how "unpleasant" it was. However, it vowed to resume if leaflets were again flown from the South by sending a hundred times the amount. A group of activists from South Korea defied the warning and have since flown more balloons to the North with leaflets. North Korea has shown some of the angriest reactions towards the leaflet campaign and the loudspeaker broadcasts, in some cases firing weapons at the balloons and speakers in the past.

Will be unbearable for Kim Jong Un regime: South Korea to start loudspeaker broadcasts directed at N Korea

South Korea's military said it was on alert for more trash-carrying balloons possibly arriving from North Korea on Sunday.

In two waves last week, North Korea sent hundreds of balloons with bags of trash into the South, describing them as a response to anti-Pyongyang propaganda balloons sent the other way by South Korean activists.

Pyongyang announced a halt to the balloons on Sunday but days later, a South Korean group called "Fighters for Free North Korea" said it had sent 10 balloons with K-pop music and 200,000 leaflets against leader Kim Jong Un.

The South Korean military is "closely monitoring with vigilance" because of "the possibility of more trash balloons descending around tomorrow", its spokesperson told AFP on Saturday.

North Korea had said it would respond with "wastepaper and rubbish" a hundred times the amount if more South Korean leaflets were sent.

The North Korean balloons last week landed in a number of locations in the South, and were found to be carrying garbage such as cigarette butts, cardboard scrap and waste batteries.

In response to the balloons, South Korea on Tuesday completely suspended a 2018 military deal with the North, which was meant to reduce tensions between the neighbours.

Authorities in Seoul have condemned the North Korean balloons as a "low-class" act and threatened countermeasures that it said Pyongyang would find "unendurable".

<h2>- Duelling propaganda -</h2>

Activists in South Korea have long sent balloons northwards, filled with anti-Pyongyang propaganda, cash, rice, and Korean TV series on USB thumb drives.

These have always infuriated North Korea, whose government is extremely sensitive about its people gaining access to South Korean pop culture.

Kuensaem, another South Korean activist group, told AFP that it threw 500 plastic bottles into the sea on Friday near the border with North Korea.

The bottles were filled with rice, cash and a USB drive with the South Korean series "Crash Landing on You" -- which features a romance between a wealthy South Korean heiress and a North Korean army officer.

The group has been doing this twice a month since 2015.&nbsp;

"We were just doing what we've been doing for a long time to help North Koreans who are starving," the group's leader Park Jung-oh told AFP Saturday.

Tensions over the duelling propaganda have boiled over in dramatic fashion in the past.

In 2020, blaming the anti-North leaflets, Pyongyang unilaterally cut off all official military and political communication links with Seoul and blew up a disused inter-Korean liaison office on its side of the border.

Last year, South Korea's Constitutional Court struck down a 2020 law that criminalised the sending of anti-Pyongyang propaganda, calling it an undue limitation on free speech.

Pyongyang announced a halt to the balloons on Sunday but days later, a South Korean group called "Fighters for Free North Korea" said it had sent 10 balloons with K-pop music and 200,000 leaflets against leader Kim Jong Un.

North Korea had said it would respond with "wastepaper and rubbish" a hundred times the amount if more South Korean leaflets were sent. The North Korean balloons last week landed in a number of locations in the South, and were found to be carrying garbage such as cigarette butts, cardboard scrap and waste batteries. In response to the balloons, South Korea on Tuesday completely suspended a 2018 military deal with the North, which was meant to reduce tensions between the neighbours. Authorities in Seoul have condemned the North Korean balloons as a "low-class" act and threatened countermeasures that it said Pyongyang would find "unendurable". - Duelling propaganda - Activists in South Korea have long sent balloons northwards, filled with anti-Pyongyang propaganda, cash, rice, and Korean TV series on USB thumb drives. These have always infuriated North Korea, whose government is extremely sensitive about its people gaining access to South Korean pop culture. Also read: North Korea to stop sending balloons carrying trash into South Korea Kuensaem, another South Korean activist group, told AFP that it threw 500 plastic bottles into the sea on Friday near the border with North Korea. The bottles were filled with rice, cash and a USB drive with the South Korean series "Crash Landing on You" -- which features a romance between a wealthy South Korean heiress and a North Korean army officer. The group has been doing this twice a month since 2015. "We were just doing what we've been doing for a long time to help North Koreans who are starving," the group's leader Park Jung-oh told AFP Saturday. Tensions over the duelling propaganda have boiled over in dramatic fashion in the past. In 2020, blaming the anti-North leaflets, Pyongyang unilaterally cut off all official military and political communication links with Seoul and blew up a disused inter-Korean liaison office on its side of the border. Also read: South Korea to suspend military pact with North over trash balloons Last year, South Korea's Constitutional Court struck down a 2020 law that criminalised the sending of anti-Pyongyang propaganda, calling it an undue limitation on free speech. Kim Jong Un's powerful sister Kim Yo Jong mocked South Korea for complaining about the balloons last week, saying North Koreans were simply exercising their freedom of expression.

South Korea on alert for more trash balloons from the North

A state-backed think tank in South Korea set the cat among the pigeons after suggesting that girls be put in primary schools a year earlier than boys to fix the country's poor birthrate. Earlier this week, authors at the Korea Institute of Public Finance published a report claiming creating a one-year gap between boys and girls would make them more desirable to each other by the time they reach the marriageable age. This logic is based on a theory that men mature at a slower pace than girls and thus girls prefer to marry older men. After the report came out, several South Korean experts condemned the report, with one professor terming it 'ridiculous.'

<h2>'The suggestion'</h2>

The report, which focused on tackling South Korea's falling birthrate, said, "Considering that the developmental level of men is slower than that of women, having females enter school one year earlier could potentially contribute to men and women finding each other more attractive when they reach the appropriate age for marriage.”

“If there is a willingness to marry, then a willingness to date can certainly be assumed. However, that does not necessarily lead to successful dating. To improve this, policies that could be included in this category are those that arrange meetups, improve social skills, and support self-development to boost one’s attractiveness to the opposite sex,” it added.

<h2>Pushback</h2>

The report was immediately criticised by social media users as well as academic experts. Shin Gyeong-a, a sociology professor at Hallym University, was quoted as saying by Korea JoongAng Daily newspaper: “That such a report, without any screening, was published in a democratic country – by a state-run research institute that will evaluate measures to address low birthrates in the future, no less – is ridiculous.” &nbsp;

Opposition leader Lee Jae-Myung called the suggestion 'absurd,' saying, "We need to take fundamental and macro-level measures [against the low birthrate].”

Balloon war? South Korea flies balloons with anti-Kim Jong Un material, music flash drives into North Korea

Over the Korean peninsula, a joint training exercise between South Korean fighter jets and a US B-1 strategic bomber demonstrated the precise strike capabilities of the JDAM. The exercise comes after North Korea's provocations prompted South Korea to resume military exercises.

US and South Korea stage joint military drills amid escalating tensions

South Korea plans to suspend a military agreement signed with North Korea in 2018 aimed at easing tensions, the presidential office said on Monday, after Seoul warned of a strong response to balloons launched by Pyongyang carrying trash to the South.

North Korea has launched hundreds balloons carried by wind across the border that dropped trash throughout South Korea, which called it a provocation and rejected Pyongyang's claim it was done to inconvenience its neighbour.

The National Security Council said it would raise the plan to suspend the entirety of the military agreement for approval by the cabinet at a meeting on Tuesday.

Suspending the agreement will pave the way for the South to conduct training near the military border and take "sufficient and immediate measures" in response to North Korea's provocation, the Council said in a statement.

It did not elaborate what those measures may be.

The pact, which was the most substantive deal to come out months of historic summit meetings between the two Koreas in 2018, had been all but scrapped when Pyongyang declared last year it was no longer bound by it.

Since then, the North deployed troops and weapons at guard posts near the military border.

By continuing to comply with the pact, "there have been considerable problems in our military's readiness posture," the Council said.

South Korea has previously said it would take "unendurable" measures against North Korea for sending the trash balloons over the border, which could include blaring propaganda from loudspeakers positioned at the border directed at the North.

North Korea has said the balloons were in retaliation for a propaganda campaign by North Korean defectors and activists in the South, who regularly send inflatables containing anti-Pyongyang leaflets with food, medicine, money and USB sticks loaded with K-pop music videos and dramas across the border.

North Korea has reacted angrily to the campaign because it is worried about the potential impact of the materials on the psychology of the people who read or listen to them and on the state's control of the public, experts said.

North Korea said Sunday (June 2) it would stop sending balloons carrying trash into South Korea, reported the country's state media. The announcement came after the North sent hundreds of such baloons in recent days. "We will temporarily suspend the action of scattering waste paper beyond the border," said the official Korean Central News Agency. "This is because our action is a thorough countermeasure." North Korea sent 600 more balloons carrying trash into South Korea overnight, Seoul said on Sunday (June 2). A day before, authorities in Seoul warned public to report such incidents to the military or the police. In a public message, people were asked to refrain from touching balloons "identified in the sky near Seoul" and to report them as these were "being handled by the military." Similar messages were issued in other regions. On Sunday, South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said that the balloons carrying garbage such as cigarette butts, cloth, paper waste and plastic were found across Seoul from 8 pm Saturday to 10 am Sunday. 'Gifts of sincerity' Earlier this week, North Korea sent hundreds of balloons carrying trash and excrement. Pyongyang called these balloons "gifts of sincerity" and vowed to send more.

Photographs released by the South Korean military showed inflated balloons with plastic bags tied to them. Other images appeared to show trash strewn around collapsed balloons, with the word "excrement" written on a bag in one photograph. Reuters reported that by Wednesday, more than 260 balloons had been detected, and most of them had landed on the ground, carrying animal faeces and rubbish, the military said. 'Low-grade behaviour' On Saturday, South Korean Defence Minister Shin Won-sik called North Korea's move "unimaginably petty and low-grade behaviour." Meanwhile, Colonel Lee Sung-Jun, the public affairs director of South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff, warned Pyongyang to halt this activity. "Full responsibility for issues that occurred by North Korea's filth balloons against the South lies entirely with North Korea, and we once again gravely warn North Korea to immediately halt their inhuman, low-level, and nasty activity which violates the armistice agreement," Colonel Lee said.
