Acting president hosts emergency security meeting from 9 a.m.

Acting President and Prime Minister Hwang Kyo-ahn plans to head a meeting of the Standing Committee of the National Security Council on Monday as Pyongyang fired a projectile into the East Sea.

The top security meeting is expected to discuss Seoul's response to the North's latest provocation. The projectile was launched from a location near the North's Dongchang-ri long-range missile site at 7:36 a.m. and flew across the country before falling into the East Sea, Seoul's Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said.
