As North Korea strongly criticizes North Korea for spraying North Korean flyers, tensions in the border area are rising as North Korean refugee organizations are predicting that they will enforce North Korean flyers this month.

According to the police and other groups, the Free North Korean Movement Association, a defector group, announced on the 25th that it would send out 1 million flyers to North Korea.

In particular, the police are nervous because the Free North Korea Movement has already secured a large amount of hydrogen gas capable of floating 10 balloons in North Korea.

To prepare for this, the police deployed a career centered on three border cities and counties, including Paju·Yeoncheon, Gyeonggi, and Incheon Ganghwa, to prepare for a 24-hour system.

The currently deployed police SWAT personnel were identified as 5 companies (approximately 400) in 36 locations in Paju and Yeoncheon, and 2 units (approximately 60) in Ganghwa.

Experiences are waiting at the main spots used by North Korean refugee organizations such as Paju Imjingak, Unification Garden, and Yeoncheon Sky Court.

In other border areas, such as Cheorwon, Gangwon and Gimpo, Gyeonggi Province, the police are preparing for emergency situations.

An official from the Gyeonggi Northern Police Agency said, “In 2014, the North Korea fired an anti-aircraft gun due to the issue of the North Korean Shear.” If the danger occurs at the site because the residents are anxious, they will persuade and stop the North Korean organization's dispersal group under the judgment of the field commander.” I said.

On the 9th, North Korea actually blocked all communication channels, including the hotline between the two Koreas, on the 9th since the first deputy head of the Labor Party, Kim Yeo-jung, condemned the spread of North Korea's North Korean flyer.

The National Assembly is also pursuing legislation prohibiting the spread of North Korean flyers, and as the level of repulsion in North Korea increases, the conflict between these groups and residents of the border region is growing.

On the 8th, members of North Korean defector groups such as the Great Spring and the Free North Korea Movement Coalition were held in Seokmori, Samsan-myeon, Ganghwa-gun, and they were forcibly arrested by the residents while trying to hold an event to send PET bottles containing rice and masks to the North.

In addition, residents of the border area of ​​Gimpo City wrote a statement saying on the 6th,'If there is an act that stimulates North Korea, such as spraying a North Korean border, in the border area, we will stop all means and methods.'
