The Blue House says at 7:00 this morning, the head of the National Security Agency, the Secretary of Defense, and the National Intelligence Service held a videoconference of related ministers to check North Korea's launch of short-range projectiles and the consequent military security situation on the Korean peninsula.

Related officials said, "We decided to judge the projectile as a short-range ballistic missile, and detailed specifications, etc., will be analyzed closely through close cooperation between US and US intelligence authorities."

"The North's launch was a force demonstration against the US-ROK command post training, which is scheduled to be conducted tomorrow, and it also determined that the new short-range projectile was developed for its own purpose."

Officials say North Korea has no special military trends in South Korea as it is currently undergoing military training in the summer, but urged North Korea's successive launches to stop because it could raise military tension on the Korean peninsula.

"We decided to check our combined defense posture to respond to any military situation by training our US-led coalition command post for our military-led wartime operations."
