North Korea’s latest trash-carrying balloons landed on the presidential office compound in Yongsan District, central Seoul, on Thursday, ahead of the summit between South Korea and Poland.
The object was determined to be nonhazardous and free of contaminants, according to the Presidential Security Service on Thursday morning.
The balloon has since been recovered and is being investigated in coordination with the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
