JAKARTA - The Government of the Republic of Korea urged North Korea to stop launching ballistic missiles. North Korea this morning launched a ballistic missile from the Wonsan region towards the Sea of Japan.
The missile traveled more than 700 km.
"The launch of ballistic missiles by North Korea is a provocative act that violates the UN Security Council resolution. We urge an immediate cessation of such actions," the Korean presidential office said, quoted by TASS, Wednesday, August 12.
The National Security Office in the presidential circle held an emergency meeting with representatives of the Ministry of Defense and the Joint Chief of Staff. They studied the impact of the launch on state security and issued the necessary instructions.
The Yonhap news agency estimated that the launch may be related to the US-South Korean joint military exercise, Ulchi Freedom Shield, which is scheduled to begin on August 17.
The previous missile launch by Pyongyang took place on August 6; the missile launched then also fell outside Japan's Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ).
