North Korea showed no reaction at the time of the announcement of the 'Bold Initiative', but fired a cruise missile today on the 100th day of its inauguration.
It is known that President Yun Seok-yeol received a report on North Korea's armed provocation before the press conference.
North Korea's ballistic missile launch is subject to UN Security Council sanctions, but cruise missile launch is not. North Korea has been focusing on cruise missile development for years.
