THAAD system operational in South Korea

The U.S. military's Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) anti-missile system is now operational in South Korea, officials said on Monday, according to ABC News.

Last week, the military began moving parts of the THAAD system into a planned deployment site in South Korea. The United States and South Korea agreed last year to deploy THAAD in response to the threat of missile launches by North Korea.
