Sydkorea pausar fredsavtal efter skräpballongerna
Sydkorea pausar det fredsavtal som man skrev med Nordkorea 2018, rapporterar nyhetsbyrån Yonhap. Beslutet kommer efter att Nordkorea skickat hundratals ballonger med skräp och avföring till grannlandet den senaste veckan.
Sydkoreas nationella säkerhetsråd uppger att avtalet sätts på paus tills tilliten mellan länderna är återställd.

The April 2018 inter-Korean summit took place on 27 April 2018 on the South Korean side of the Joint Security Area, between Moon Jae-in, President of South Korea, and Kim Jong Un, Chairman of the Workers' Party of Korea and Supreme Leader of North Korea. The summit was the third inter-Korean summit - the first in eleven years. It was also the first time since the end of the Korean War in 1953 that a North Korean leader entered the South's territory; President Moon also briefly crossed into the North's territory.
The summit took place after the two sides had already held several meetings in preparation for their joint attendance at the 2018 Winter Olympics. The idea was initially brought forward through an official invitation from the North to conduct a meeting. The summit was focused on the North Korean nuclear weapons program and denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula. The Panmunjom Declaration was made following the summit.
