Full coverage: THAAD Deployment in South Korea
To start with the controversy over deployment of the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense system, or THAAD, in South Korea. President Park Geun-hye has said that it's possible to review a shift in the designated area within Seongju county for THAAD. Park says if there's any other place recommended by Seongju residents, a new site can be closely and precisely investigated and reviewed. She says residents will be notified in detail of the investigation results and review.
The president's comments come amid a growing outcry. Last month, South Korea and the US agreed to deploy one THAAD battery in Seongju by the end of next year. Seoul's defense ministry says that if Seongju county requests a review over the availability of a new site, the ministry will assess it according to its own standards.
