SEOUL: The presidential office ordered ministries to prioritise the protection of South Korean nationals and to minimise potential security and economic fallout from the US military strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. The ministries have since taken emergency measures in response.
South Korean National Security Adviser Wi Sung-lac convened an emergency meeting at noon Sunday (June 22), hours after the US military bombed three nuclear facilities in Iran, presidential spokesperson Kang Yu-jung said during a televised briefing.
