Since May 28 at night, we have been spreading 15 tons of waste paper (…) near the borders of the Republic of Korea and its capital.

We will temporarily suspend this action (…), because it is a response measure, Kim Kang Il, deputy minister of National Defense of the DPRK, said.

However, if Seoul resumes scattering leaflets with anti-DPRK content, we will respond, depending on the amount discovered and the number of cases, by scattering the discarded papers and garbage in a hundredfold quantity, the statement warned.
