The United States military has begun deploying parts of the controversial Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) missile system to South Korea, Press TV reported.
According to South Korea’s Yonhap news agency, six trailer trucks, carrying the radar and other equipment for the THAAD missile defense battery, arrived at the deployment site, located on what had been a golf course in the southeastern region of Seongju in early hours of Wednesday.
In this aspect, Seoul and Washington reached an agreement over the THAAD’s deployment in July last year, claiming that this move aims to protect South Korea against North Korea’s alleged missile threats.
On the other hand, Russia and China has already expressed their deep concerns in a number of occasions over the deployment of the controversial system in the Korean Peninsula, with Chinese officials arguing that the US system would interfere with their radars and could pose a threat to Chinese security.
