South Korea has suspended the deployment of US missile defense system THAAD, and currently the government is studying its impact on the environment, Rambler News reports on Wednesday.




“The deployment of American missile defense system THAAD may be delayed for a year”, the message reads.

It is noted that four launchers, which have recently been brought into South Korea, will not be deployed. Two of the installed launchers will remain in place.

Earlier, the Defense Ministry said that the deployment of elements of global missile defense in South Korea would not help to settle the North Korean nuclear issue and, moreover, would lead to a race of rocket arms.
