The presidential office of South Korea has condemned North Korea's latest ballistic missile launch as a violation of United Nations Security Council resolutions. According to The Korea Times, the launch involved multiple ballistic missiles fired from the Wonsan area at around 5:20 a.m.
The presidential Office of National Security held an emergency meeting following the launch, assessing its impact on the country's security situation and calling for a firm readiness posture. The office urged Pyongyang to immediately halt such actions, as reported by KBS World Radio.
The missile launch came after a five-day Freedom Edge exercise concluded by Seoul, Washington, and Tokyo in international waters east and south of South Korea's southern island of Jeju. This was not the first recent missile launch, with North Korea firing a barrage of short-range ballistic missiles toward the East Sea on August 20, during Seoul and Washington's annual Ulchi Freedom Shield drills.
