North Korea sent another 350 waste balloons to South Korea as tensions continue to rise between the two nations.

Global events have ratcheted up the tension between the two Koreas, as Russia allies itself with the hermit kingdom to secure more weapons for the war in Ukraine, and the United States seeks to shore up its position in East Asia amid worsening relations with China. North Korea has begun utilizing balloons filled with waste, which are floated to South Korea, as a visible nuisance.

Of the balloons launched Tuesday, 100 landed in the Gyeonggi Province and the capital in Seoul. Police warned residents not to touch the balloons and to contact police if they saw one. So far, no hazardous materials or substances have been found in the balloons.

South Korea was quick to denounce the latest move, threatening to restart loudspeaker propaganda broadcasts over the border in response.

“Our military is ready to immediately start anti-North Korea propaganda broadcasts, and will operate with flexibility according to the strategical and operational situation,” the joint chiefs of staff of the South Korean military said Tuesday, CNN reported.

The broadcasts typically play K-pop songs, international news, and speeches denouncing the North Korean government. The military claims that such broadcasts can be heard about six miles away during the day and 15 miles at night, the BBC reported.

Russian President Vladimir Putin traveled to North Korea last week to solidify an alliance with Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un. Washington, D.C., Tokyo, and Seoul issued a joint statement denouncing the new alliance, and South Korea floated sending weapons to Ukraine in response.

The newest round of waste balloons came a few days after the USS Theodore Roosevelt aircraft carrier arrived in South Korea for new drills, meant to shore up the U.S.’s alliance with its east asian ally.
