South Korea’s military responded to the floating turds by mobilizing its chemical and explosive response teams to track down the balloons.
The unorthodox stunt comes just days after North Korea allegedly launched a missile over the Sea of Japan after announcing it would be launching a military reconnaissance satellite.
In response to the North’s launch, South Korea sent 20 fighter jets near the inter-Korean border in a move Jong Un called, “a very dangerous provocation that cannot be ignored.”
The shit may soon hit the fan as tensions continue to increase between major military powers around the world.
