Flying leaflets is so pathetic imo and it gains South nothing but an image of being a provocateur.

Military exercise however is South's sovereign rights and that irks North even more. But flying leaflets.....it's like being a hopeless helpless online activist.

How can you be a provocateur when someone has already shot at you? I think it's a smart move; North Korea is counting on the South to escalate through military means so they can say 'See! See! I told you so! They're militant!'. South Korea is taking a completely non-threatening approach to confrontation, and that's pretty slick of them.
