The presidential National Security Council (NSC) “strongly” denounced North Korea’s launch of an intermediate- or longer-range ballistic missile Thursday.
The NSC held a meeting led by National Security Adviser Cho Tae-yong to discuss what South Korea’s military described as an intermediate- or longer-range ballistic missile launch earlier in the day.
“The NSC standing members noted that North Korea’s missile launch constitutes a grave violation of U.N. Security Council resolutions and a serious provocation heightening tensions on the Korean Peninsula and in the region,” the presidential office said in a press release.
The NSC “strongly denounced the launch of a ballistic missile of at least intermediate range following the long-range missile launches in February and March,” it said.
