North Korea military threatens physical response against U.S. THAAD deployment

North Korea's military said on Monday it will take "physical response" to a move by the United States and South Korea to deploy the advanced THAAD missile defence system to the Korean peninsula to counter the threat from the North. The United States and South Korea said on Friday that the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) anti-missile system will be used as defence against North Korea's growing nuclear and ballistic missile capabilities.
