GANGNEUNG, South Korea, Feb 5:Â Propaganda leaflets from North Korea marking the start of the 2018 Winter Olympics have been found in mountains in the South Korean capital, Seoul, a North Korea specialist news website reported on Monday.
The fliers, which are presumed to have been dropped from balloons flown from North Korea, show the 2018 Pyeongchang Olympics logo and its two cartoon mascots standing beneath the Olympic rings, according to photos of the propaganda leaflets published by the NK News website.
“Welcome, guests from Pyongyang!” the flier reads, referring to the delegation of North Koreans travelling to the Games, which begin on Friday.
The North Korean delegation includes 12 ice hockey players who have formed a joint squad with the South Korean women’s national team.
North Korea’s ceremonial leader Kim Yong Nam will make an unprecedented visit to South Korea this week, officials said on Monday, as hopes grow for high-level inter-Korean talks during the Olympics.
