President Moon Jae-in is set to preside over a National Security Council (NSC) meeting Thursday, following North Korea's apparent launch of a long-range ballistic missile toward the East Sea, according to Cheong Wa Dae.
North Korea appeared to have launched the projectile at an elevated angle, South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said.
The North's move came four days after it launched four projectiles into the Yellow Sea, apparently using multiple launch rocket systems, from Sukchon, north of Pyongyang.
Thursday's launch was the North's 12th weapons test this year. (Yonhap)
