The presidential office on Wednesday held an emergency meeting to address North Korea's latest ballistic missile launch, describing it as a provocation and calling for an immediate halt to such actions. The emergency security assessment meeting of Cheong Wa Dae's national security office came shortly after North Korea fired at least one ballistic missile toward the East Sea earlier Wednesday. The office also voiced concerns over the North's back-to-back ballistic missile launches. It said Pyongyang's ballistic missile launches constitute provocations in violation of United Nations Security Council resolutions and called for an immediate halt to such launches. The North's latest missile launch came six days after it fired a short-range ballistic missile toward the East Sea on Thursday.
