Photographs shared on social media show bags attached via string to white translucent balloons carrying toilet paper, dark soil, and batteries, among other contents.

Police and military officers are seen in some of these photographs.

South Korea’s Yonhap news agency reported that “some of the fallen balloons carried what appears to be faeces judging from its dark colour and odour”.

South Korea’s military condemned the act as a “clear violation of international law”.

      Do you have a rental storage place around you that offers 10 dollars a month intro pricing? You can just leave your garbage there. Pay one month, cash, and never come back.

          How so?

          I’m sure they have a rule against filling it with perishable food, but those are composable anyway.

              You’re not dumping it, you’re storing it. After non-payment, they’ll auction it off to someone and they’ll dump it.
