Democratic Party "Anger over North Korean missile threat to Ulleungdo residents... Strongly Condemn"

"Maintain a Security Posture with No Gaps through ROK-US Military Cooperation"

[Asia Economy Reporter Naju-seok] The Democratic Party of Korea condemned North Korea's ballistic missile launches, including those near South Korea's territorial waters south of the Northern Limit Line (NLL), on the 2nd. The party called for maintaining an airtight security posture.

Ahn Ho-young, the chief spokesperson for the Democratic Party, stated, "According to the Joint Chiefs of Staff announcement, North Korean authorities launched three short-range ballistic missiles this morning, one of which landed near South Korea's territorial waters south of the East Sea NLL," adding, "We strongly condemn North Korea's missile provocation."

Spokesperson Ahn criticized, "Thinking of the residents of Ulleungdo who had to tremble in fear under evacuation orders and air raid alerts due to North Korea's provocation, we cannot help but feel anger. This missile provocation, which landed near South Korea's territorial waters south of the NLL for the first time since the division, is a military provocation that cannot be tolerated for any reason."

He warned sternly once again, "There is nothing to be gained from military provocations against North Korea," and said, "Unless North Korea intends to walk the path of endless isolation, we strongly demand that it stop military provocations and promise to prevent recurrence."

He continued, "We urge the military authorities to maintain an airtight security posture based on the ironclad ROK-US cooperation."
