Presidential Office Holds Emergency Security Meeting: "North Korean Ballistic Missile Launch Violates UN Resolutions, Urged to Cease"

After North Korea launched ballistic missiles, the Blue House convened an emergency security situation review meeting on September 12 to assess the nation's readiness and response posture.

The National Security Office inspected South Korea's response in coordination with the Ministry of National Defense, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and other relevant agencies. They analyzed and evaluated the impact of this missile launch on national security and reviewed necessary actions to be taken.

The National Security Office stated, "We emphasize that our preparedness should be thorough, while also strongly urging North Korea to immediately halt its ballistic missile launches, as they constitute a grave violation of UN Security Council resolutions."

According to the Joint Chiefs of Staff, North Korea fired 12 ballistic missiles toward the East Sea from the Wonsan area at around 5:20 AM that day. The launch is presumed to be a reaction to the Freedom Edge exercise conducted by South Korea, the United States, and Japan from September 7 to 11.
