[Asia Economy Reporter Ryu Jeong-min] On the 14th, the Blue House conveyed that it is only possible to express an opinion after the Joint Chiefs of Staff's analysis is released regarding North Korea's launch of an unidentified projectile toward the East Sea coast.


A senior Blue House official, meeting with reporters that day, said, "The Joint Chiefs of Staff will gather all information under the ROK-US cooperation and provide a statement," adding, "Please understand that we cannot respond otherwise at this time."



The senior Blue House official added, "We can only say anything after the basic analysis from the Joint Chiefs of Staff is available. Even if the analysis is out, the Blue House cannot express opinions ahead of the authorities."
