The Joint Chiefs of Staff told reporters on the same day, "If a dirty balloon is launched, we will announce it to the media and work with relevant agencies to take safety measures for the public as a top priority."
"We will discuss sending out safety emails with local governments," he said. "If a dirty balloon from North Korea flies in, the public should be careful of falling objects, and if they find a dirty balloon, they should pass through without touching it.
In response to the criticism that the South Korean military's response to North Korea's low-intensity hybrid warfare is too tepid, the Joint Chiefs of Staff said,
In the case of the ship, it is a very low-level act, so it is not desirable for us to respond in the same way," he said. "It would cause trouble in the South (South Korea) and lead to 'South-South conflict' (conflict within South Korea).
"We are taking a firm stance against this, as there is a risk that we could become embroiled in an attempt to incite and cause chaos."
Meanwhile, it has been confirmed that North Korea is continuing its GPS jamming activities.
A Joint Chiefs of Staff official said, "There was an attempt to jam GPS signals in the northwestern islands this morning as well," and added, "Currently, there are no restrictions on military operations, and commercial GPS signals are being used."
"There may be some obstacles to its use, so we are discussing the issue with the relevant agencies and dealing with the issue."
