Political circles strongly condemned North Korea with one voice. However, the MDP criticized the mishandling of government agencies for inacting and intensifying unrest, and said that the power of the people is better than lacking in the issue of people's lives and safety.

People Power characterized the North Korean projectile as a "missile provocation."

"This is not only a violation of the UN Security Council resolution banning all launches using ballistic missile technology, but also an armed provocation that threatens peace on the Korean Peninsula and in Northeast Asia," he said, stressing that "we must take decisive countermeasures to make them realize that this provocation is the 'worst possible move.'"

[Yoo Sang-beom, chief spokesman for the People's Power: In the event of a repetition of North Korea's provocative acts, our government and military should be thoroughly prepared and prepared to punish North Korea's provocations in any case.]

The Democratic Party also condemned it as a clear violation of UN resolutions and a futile act that escalates tensions on the Korean Peninsula.

[Lee Jae-myung, Representative of the Democratic Party of Korea: We strongly condemn it. The government should urge North Korea to abide by the resolution and make every effort to maintain an unwavering security posture.]

Still, he complained that something ridiculous had happened over the warning emergency text that was sent out this morning.

[Park Sung-joon, spokesman for the Democratic Party of Korea: The government, which is supposed to reassure the people, is fomenting unrest on the contrary, so what are you going to do?]

He said that the power of the people should be weighed against the circumstances of the misappropriation, but in terms of security, it is better to have too much than not enough.

This afternoon, the plenary meeting of the National Assembly Intelligence Committee will discuss the NIS report on North Korea's projectiles and pending issues.
