The U.S. military will deploy additional missile interceptor launchers to its base in a southern town early Thursday despite strong opposition from residents and activists, according to local villagers.

The residents' group in Seonju said Wednesday Seoul's defense ministry has informed the media of the plan to deploy four launchers for the Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense system at 2 a.m. on Thursday, in addition to two that are already installed.
