North
Korea has threatened the South with open fire when a group
of activists wanted to launch balloons. This balloon launching was
normal, usually done on several occasions near a demilitarized zone in Imijingak
Park. South Korean officials have
decided to blockade the activists and ask them to give up their plans. This is
not just empty threats from North Korea, they have sent out the Korean People's
Army and they mean business. People on the border were asked to evacuate.
South Korea is trying to plead with both the activists and North Korea asking them to ease tensions. The North-South Korean border remains the most highly militarized zone, with any spark could end in massive violence.
