North Korean defectors in the South launched 200,000 anti-Pyongyang leaflets across the tense inter-Korean border on Saturday, the birth anniversary of the North's late leader Kim Jong-Il.

North Korean defectors living in the South float giant balloons carrying anti-Pyongyang leaflets at Imjingak park, near the inter-Korean border in Paju, on February 16, 2013.
