The office of President Yoon Suk Yeol called an emergency meeting of the National Security Council on Wednesday to discuss North Korea’s launch of what it called a “space launch vehicle.”
North Korea fired the projectile southward, the South Korean military said, prompting the Seoul metropolitan government to alert residents to prepare for evacuation.
The NSC meeting will be led by National Security Adviser Cho Tae-yong.
