The US military installed four additional Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) anti-ballistic missile system launchers to Seongju, Republic of Korea. The country's Defence Ministry announced the decision of the deployment on 4 September.

THAAD deployment raises concerns over rumored health hazards due to the system's radar as well as the possibility of aggravating tensions on the Korean Peninsula.
