Hundreds of South Korean residents and peace activists clashed with police Wednesday beside the entrance to the US Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) site at Soseong-ri village as Seoul tried to deploy additional THAAD elements. About 8,000 policemen were reportedly mobilized to help the USFK troops transport the remaining THAAD elements to the site. South Korea's defense ministry said Wednesday that the remaining elements of the THAAD missile interception system would be deployed to the site in southeast of the country on Thursday.
The ministry said in a statement that the remaining THAAD launchers would be installed together with construction equipment and materials of the U.S. side within Thursday. (Photo/Agencies)
