Seoul authorities did not activate any kind of alert as the device did not pose a threat
South Korean authorities discovered a suspected North Korean weather balloon in their skies over the weekend. The Seoul government decided not to activate any kind of warning after observing the device, as it did not pose any risk to the country.
The balloon, which was two meters long, flew over South Korean land for a few hours to cross the border back into North Korea, according to official sources quoted by the Yonhap news agency. At the time, authorities in Seoul found no evidence of a possible espionage attempt with this device, a very different situation from the one alluded to days ago by the United States government to justify the shooting down of another balloon, in this case a Chinese one. . , located on its territory.
The South Korean armed forces also failed to trigger any kind of military activity, such as aircraft takeoff, after detecting the balloon launched by the neighboring country.
