President Yoon Suk-yeol chaired an emergency security meeting.

Key officials from the National Security Office, the Ministry of National Defense, and the National Intelligence Service attended.

Participants expressed strong concerns that military cooperation between Russia and North Korea has escalated from the provision of military supplies to troop deployment.

They defined this as a significant security threat not only to South Korea but also to the international community.

They emphasized that they will not overlook the situation.

They stated that they will mobilize all available means in cooperation with the international community to respond.

The presidential office stated, "We have been closely tracking the North Korean troop deployment dynamics from the beginning in cooperation with allied countries," and added, "We plan to actively seek necessary measures."

However, they refrained from mentioning what possible follow-up measures might be.

The presidential office had previously warned in June that they would reconsider the issue of military support to Ukraine after North Korea and Russia established a comprehensive strategic partnership.
