SEOUL, May 30 (Xinhua) -- South Korean
President Moon Jae-in on Tuesday ordered an investigation into the unauthorized
delivery of four more mobile launchers of the U.S. missile shield to the
country.
Yoon Young-chan, chief presidential press
secretary, told a press briefing that President Moon said it was "very
shocking" after he was briefed by his top national security advisor Chung
Eui-yong on the unauthorized delivery.
About two weeks before the May 9 presidential
by-election, two mobile launchers and a radar for the U.S. Terminal High
Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) missile interception system were transported in
the middle of night to a golf course at Soseong-ri village in Seongju county,
North Gyeongsang province.
THAAD is composed of six mobile launchers, 48
interceptors, a AN/TPY-2 radar and a fire and control unit.
