S.Korean presidential candidates unanimously slam N.Korean launch

North Korean launch prompts calls for rapid THAAD deployment

South Korea’s presidential candidates have condemned North Korea’s launch on Sunday of the Pukguksong-2 missile, with one calling for the speedy deployment of the Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) to counter the North's latest test.

Pyongyang's recent ballistic missile launch has also prompted calls in the South Korean media for the rapid deployment of the Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system, recently agreed by Seoul and Washington to take place this year.
