Cheong Wa Dae denounces N.K. missile launch as violation of UNSC resolution

Seoul's Cheong Wa Dae, the presidential office, denounced North Korea's recent ballistic missile launch as a flagrant violation of U.N. Security Council resolutions. The launch, which took place around 5:20 a.m. on Saturday, involved multiple missiles fired from the Wonsan area. In an emergency meeting, the presidential office emphasized the need for a firm readiness posture to safeguard the nation's security and urged an immediate cessation of such dangerous actions.

The latest missile test occurred following a series of joint military drills between Seoul, Washington, and Tokyo, known as the Freedom Edge exercise, which concluded on Friday in international waters off the coast of South Korea's southern island of Jeju.
