On Wednesday, the presidential office convened an urgent meeting to respond to North Korea's recent ballistic missile launch, branding it as a provocation. The meeting, held at Cheong Wa Dae's national security office, occurred in quick succession to the missile's launch earlier in the day. Following the event, officials deliberated on the appropriate response to the launch, evaluated its implications for national security, and directed officials to implement necessary countermeasures.

The North's latest missile test occurred six days after a short-range ballistic missile was fired towards the East Sea on Thursday.
