North Korea launches ballistic missiles toward the East Sea on the 12th

The Blue House held an emergency security situation review meeting on Monday in response to North Korea's ballistic missile launch, Chief Spokesperson Kang Yoojung said.

The National Security Office met with relevant agencies, including the Ministry of National Defense and the Joint Chiefs of Staff, to review South Korea's readiness posture and security situation in light of North Korea's recent successive ballistic missile launches, and stressed the need to remain fully prepared. It also analyzed and assessed the impact of the latest launch on South Korea's security and issued instructions on matters requiring action.

In addition, the National Security Office urged North Korea to immediately stop its repeated ballistic missile launches, calling them violations of United Nations Security Council resolutions and serious acts that do not help manage the current situation on the Korean Peninsula.

According to the Joint Chiefs of Staff, North Korea launched several ballistic missiles from the Pyongyang area toward the East Sea on Monday morning. The launches came nine days after North Korea's previous ballistic missile launches on October 3.
