Seoul, Mar 26 (IANS): South Korean activists sent thousands of anti-Pyongyang leaflets into North Korea on Saturday.
Around seven North Korean defectors and members of the civic group "Fighters for a Free North Korea" gathered near the demilitarised zone in Paju city, where they released balloons carrying some 50,000 anti-Pyongyang propaganda leaflets into the neighbouring country, EFE news reported.
From the city of Gimpo, a further 30,000 leaflets were floated over the border.
Fighters for a Free North Korea regularly carries out anti-Pyongyang leaf-letting campaigns, which have in the past drawn the ire of the regime led by Kim Jong-un.
