North Korean propaganda leaflets found at South's presidential complex
Both sides regularly use balloons to carry leaflets across the demilitarised zone
North Korean propaganda has been found at the South’s presidential compound, officials said on Monday, with the discovery of leaflets praising Pyongyang, which once sent commandos to attack the complex.
Authorities in the nuclear-armed North and activists in the South regularly use balloons to carry leaflets across the demilitarised zone that has divided the peninsula since the end of the Korean war.
Seoul is only 35 miles from the DMZ, within artillery range, and the leaflets are sometimes found lying on the ground in the capital – although not normally at the presidential Blue House.
“Great leader Kim Jong-un firmly declared to tame the mentally deranged US dotard with fire,” one of the leaflets read, according to the Yonhap news agency.
