On Wednesday, the presidential office convened an emergency meeting to discuss North Korea's recent ballistic missile launch, deeming it a provocation and demanding an immediate cessation of such actions. The meeting, held at Cheong Wa Dae's national security office, took place soon after North Korea had fired a missile towards the East Sea earlier in the day.
The office deliberated on Seoul's response to the missile launch, evaluated its implications for national security, and directed officials to implement appropriate measures. The office also expressed apprehension about North Korea's consecutive ballistic missile launches. It asserted that Pyongyang's missile launches are provocations that contravene United Nations Security Council resolutions and urged for an immediate halt to such launches.
The emergency security assessment meeting was also attended by officials from the defense ministry, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and other pertinent agencies. The North's latest missile launch occurred six days after it had fired a short-range ballistic missile in the direction of the East Sea on Thursday.
