North Korea Upset With THAAD Training In South Korea

Judging by the picture it appears that the THAAD soldiers are simply doing training on how to reload their launchers which is hardly provocative. However, when North Korea is looking for an excuse to raise tensions they will always find one:

North Korea has condemned a recent anti-ballistic missile defense drill by the United States Forces Korea (USFK), calling it a rash act of military provocation, the North’s propaganda media outlets said Friday.

The criticism came about a week after the USFK revealed it staged an exercise last month using the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system deployed in South Korea, at its Camp Humphreys garrison in Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi Province.

“The drill is a military provocation that breaks the atmosphere of peace on the Korean Peninsula,” Uriminzokkiri, the North’s propaganda website, said.

“It would be a stupid misjudgment for the U.S. to believe that the country can achieve its impure intention by testing and threatening the North with power.” 

Pyongyang also stepped up pressure on Seoul, urging it to “behave discreetly” over the U.S.’s military exercises on the peninsula.
