The statement said:

The U.S. and the south Korean authorities finally decided to deploy THAAD for aggression in south Korea despite unanimous opposition and rejection of the DPRK and other countries.

The deployment poses big threat to the peace of the Korean peninsula, Northeast Asia and the rest of the world.

It is just and legitimate for the KPA to take strong physical counteraction to contain THAAD, U.S. means for aggression.

THAAD deployment in south Korea reveals the U.S. sinister ambition to dominate the world by holding military supremacy in Asia-Pacific.

The Park Geun Hye regime decided to deploy THAAD under the pressure of the U.S. This proves that the Park regime is the group of traitors for all ages without an equal in the world.

We bitterly denounce THAAD deployment in south Korea and fully support the strong warning sent by the Artillery Bureau of the KPA General Staff.
