South Korea's military has been dropping leaflets into North Korea about democracy protests in Egypt and also sent food, medicines and radios for residents as part of a psychological campaign, a legislator said on Friday.
The campaign was aimed at encouraging North Koreans to think about change, conservative South Korean parliament member Song Young-sun said.The food and medicines were delivered in light-weight baskets tied to balloons with timers programed to release the items above the target areas in the impoverished North, Song said in a statement.
South Korea's defense ministry declined to confirm the move, citing its policy of not commenting on sensitive issues in its dealings with the North.
