LONDON -- South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said Monday that Seoul may respond militarily to any casualties caused by North Korea's launching of so-called "trash balloons" across the shared border, the state media Yonhap News Agency reported.
"North Korea's gray zone provocations are continuing and are causing inconvenience and anxiety to the public, so we have summarized the military's position to date and delivered a message," Lee Sung-joon, a spokesperson for South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff, said, as quoted by Yonhap.
"This is an internationally shameful and petty act that creates discomfort and anxiety among our people and is a low-level act intended to incite conflict."
