South Korea Holds Emergency Security Meeting After North Korea Missile Launch

North Korea fired a short-range ballistic missile toward the sea on Sunday, prompting South Korea to convene an emergency meeting of its National Security Council. South Korea said the missile was launched from the Wonsan area on North Korea’s eastern coast. Its Joint Chiefs of Staff initially described the launch as an unidentified projectile and said further details were being assessed. The launch is the latest in a series of North Korean weapons tests. It follows recent military exercises involving the United States, South Korea and Japan, which Pyongyang has repeatedly condemned as provocative.
