SEOUL
(Reuters) - South Korean President Moon Jae-in ordered discussions to be held
with the United States on deploying additional THAAD anti-missile defense units
following North Korea's test launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile,
his office said on Saturday.
Moon also
wanted the United Nations Security Council to discuss new and stronger sanctions
against the North, the presidential Blue House said following a National
Security Council meeting.
Two units of
the Terminal High Altitude Area Defence (THAAD) anti-missile system have been
deployed by the U.S. military in a southern South Korean region, with four more
planned but delayed over concerns about their environmental impact.
