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 discussed Seoul's responses to the missile launch, assessed its impact on national security and instructed officials to take necessary measures, Cheong Wa Dae said.
The office also voiced concerns over the North's back-to-back ballistic missile launches.
