Yonhap: N. Korea unveils 'satellite photos' of THAAD in S. Korea
SEOUL, May 10 (Yonhap) -- North Korea has unveiled what it claims are satellite images of the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system recently deployed in South Korea, a move aimed at flaunting the country's capability to gather intelligence against Seoul.
The North's state-run Korean Central TV Broadcasting Station aired two pictures showing what were described as THAAD components installed at a golf course at the southern South Korean county of Seongju during a TV talk show aired on Monday.
"The satellite pictures show the THAAD (missile) launcher is currently deployed near the northern ridge of the Seongju golf course while the X-band radar and other auxiliary equipment are installed near the western ridge from the center," the broadcast said.
The North Korean photos captured in Seoul showed what the North claimed as the THAAD launcher and radar in black circles.
