Starbucks opens at South Korean border observatory with views of North Korean village

A new Starbucks has opened at Aegibong Peace Ecopark in South Korea, allowing customers to enjoy coffee while viewing a North Korean mountain village. The location is near a military checkpoint, less than a mile from North Korea. The South Korean city of Gimpo aims to develop border facilities as tourist attractions. The Starbucks symbolizes security on the Korean Peninsula amid ongoing tensions between North and South Korea. North Korea has increased its psychological warfare tactics, including launching balloons into South Korea. Recently, South Korea's military reported that North Korea sent more balloons overnight, with some landing near Seoul.
