If you analyse it carefully, the latest moves by North Korea can be summed up into two things:
1. North Korea is once again trying to get back into the limelight.
They're guilty of this multiple times in the past. Whenever they're no longer the talk of the town, they'll do something to get attention again.
2. They were urged by China to lure South Korea into making a mistake.
This strategy is what China has been doing with the Philippines and the US, re: South China Sea + West Philippine Sea issue.
Also, this strategy was what Persia/Iran, an ally of China, tried to do with Israel only a few months ago.

However, there is another danger from North Korea's garbage balloons: spy technology.
Can we truly say that NoKor did not include spy tech within those garbage balloons?
