Part 9/9:
As tensions simmer along the Korean border, the strange spectacle of balloons filled with garbage and human waste serves as a bizarre yet potent symbol of the ongoing conflict between North and South Korea.

How this latest escalation will influence future relations remains uncertain, but it underscores the persistent volatility on the peninsula and the high stakes involved in cross-border tensions.
