Protest against the decision to deploy in South Korea
Protest against the THAAD system in South Korea, Jul 11, 2016 : South Koreans stage a protest against the decision to deploy the THAAD system in their country, near the U.S. embassy in Seoul, South Korea. According to local media, South Korea and the U.S. announced last Friday that they had agreed to deploy the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system in the South. China and Russia argued THAAD would hurt their security interests. North Korea warned on July 11, 2016 that it will take "physical" actions against the South and the U.S. from the moment the two countries decide on where to deploy the THAAD system in the South, local media reported.
