"We don't expect any changes to the planned deployment of the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense system in South Korea within this year," Defense Ministry spokesman Moon Sang-gyun said in a briefing.

Lotte Group plans to hold a board of directors' meeting to approve the land swap deal with the defense ministry. Depending on the results, the ministry will take follow-up steps, the spokesman said.

The ministry expected the land acquisition for the THAAD system to be concluded this week with actual deployment to be completed by late June at the earliest. (Yonhap)
