Seoul will set aside agreement after North Korea sent multiple balloons filled with rubbish across border. South Korea is set to suspend a 2018 military agreement with its northern neighbour after a North Korean campaign that saw balloons carrying trash sent over the border. The National Security Council of South Korea said on Monday that it would present a plan to fully suspend the deal for approval to the cabinet at a meeting on Tuesday. The key military agreement was partially frozen last year. However, Pyongyang said on Sunday that it would stop sending the balloons as they had already proved their effectiveness against South Korean “propaganda”.
