S. Korea condemns N. Korea's missile launch, urges it to cease provocations
SEOUL, Jan. 27 (Yonhap) -- The presidential Office of National Security on Tuesday condemned North Korea's latest ballistic missile launch as a violation of U.N. Security Council resolutions and urged Pyongyang to immediately cease provocations.
The office convened an emergency security meeting with military officials shortly after North Korea fired multiple short-range ballistic missiles toward the East Sea.
"North Korea's ballistic missile launch is a provocative act that violates U.N. Security Council resolutions," the office said in a statement, calling on Pyongyang to "immediately cease" such actions.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff said it detected the launches from an area north of Pyongyang at around 3:50 p.m., adding that the missiles flew about 350 kilometers. South Korean and U.S. authorities are analyzing the exact details of the launch.
