  "summary": "South Korea's presidential National Security Office held an emergency meeting to discuss North Korea's firing of at least one ballistic missile. According to Cheong Wa Dae, the National Security Office said the missile launch was in violation of U.N. Security Council resolutions and urged Pyongyang to immediately stop such provocative action.\n\nThe missile was launched from the Wonsan area of North Korea towards the East Sea, also known as the Sea of Japan. This incident comes amid rising tensions between the two Koreas, with Seoul blaming Pyongyang for a landmine blast in the Demilitarized Zone that injured three South Korean soldiers.\n\nNorth Korean leader Kim Jong-un's sister, Kim Yo-jong, rejected Seoul's demand for an apology over the DMZ explosion, calling South Korea \"despicable\". She also dismissed Seoul's proposal for border talks as a \"wild dream\" and \"unilateral jargon\". The launch came as South Korea, the US, and Japan maintained a \"robust defence posture\" through close information sharing on North Korean ballistic missile launches.",
