SEOUL, Oct. 12 (Yonhap) -- The presidential National Security Office (NSO) demanded Monday that North Korea immediately stop its ballistic missile launches, calling them a grave violation of international sanctions.

The NSO issued the call during an emergency meeting, shortly after the South Korean military detected multiple ballistic missiles launched from the Pyongyang area over the East Sea.

"North Korea's repeated ballistic missile launches are grave acts that violate U.N. Security Council resolutions and are of no help to managing the current situation on the Korean Peninsula, and (the NSO) demanded they be halted immediately," presidential spokesperson Kang Yu-jung said in a written briefing.

The meeting brought together officials from the defense ministry and the Joint Chiefs of Staff and reviewed the country's readiness posture and security situation in light of North Korea's recent successive missile launches, according to the spokesperson.

The NSO called for taking all necessary measures while analyzing and assessing the latest launch's impact on South Korea's security.

North Korea last fired a ballistic missile on Oct. 3 in what it said was a test of an intermediate-range hypersonic strategic missile.

Tensions between the two Koreas have run high in recent weeks after Seoul's military and the United States-led U.N. Command found the North responsible for mine explosions that injured three South Korean soldiers near their heavily fortified border last month.

Pyongyang has denied responsibility and accused Seoul of fabricating the findings.

首尔，10月12日（韩联社）——韩国总统国家安全保卫室（NSO）周一要求朝鲜立即停止弹道导弹发射，称其严重违反国际制裁。

在韩国军方探测到多枚弹道导弹从平壤地区发射到东海后不久，国家安全办公室在一次紧急会议上发出了这一呼吁。

总统发言人康裕贞在一份书面简报中表示：“朝鲜反复发射弹道导弹是严重违反联合国安理会决议的行为，无助于管控朝鲜半岛当前局势，国家安全局要求立即停止这些行为。”

据发言人称，此次会议汇集了国防部和联合参谋本部官员，并鉴于朝鲜近期连续发射导弹，审查了该国的战备状态和安全形势。

国家安全办公室呼吁采取一切必要措施，同时分析和评估此次发射对韩国安全的影响。

朝鲜最近一次试射弹道导弹是在10月3日，朝鲜称这是一次中程高超音速战略导弹的试验。

上个月，韩国军方和以美国为首的联合国军司令部认定朝鲜应对在朝韩重兵把守的边境附近发生的地雷爆炸事件负责，导致三名韩国士兵受伤。此后，朝韩之间的紧张局势持续数周。

平壤否认对此事负责，并指责首尔捏造调查结果。
