JAKARTA - South Korea will face "bad consequences" for distributing anti-Pyongyang leaflets in North Korea, state media KCNA quoted Kim Yo Jong, the sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

Reported by Reuters on Tuesday, July 16, at least 29 large balloons carrying anti-Pyongyang leaflets from South Korea were found around North Korea, triggering a blockade in the region and causing inconvenience to residents, Kim said.

Tensions broke out last month after North Korea sent thousands of balloons filled with garbage to South Korea in protest against North Korea's defector campaign.

Activists in South Korea who for years flew aid packages and leaflets criticizing Kim's regime crossed the heavily fortified border.

Kim said Pyongyang might respond differently if the small and dirty' behavior he called human waste' continued, without elaborating.

"The situation seems unacceptable. Once again I give you a stern warning," he said in a statement broadcast by KCNA.

"You have to face devastating and terrible consequences," he added.
