Police in Seongju, North Gyeongsang Province, clashed with residents during a ground transport of maintenance equipment for US Forces Korea (USFK)’s terminal high-altitude area defense (THAAD) system on May 29 as citizens opposed to THAAD’s installation crowded the entrance of the base in an attempt to prevention the equipment from entering. The local police, however, deployed over 3,700 officers to the area, who cleared the base’s entrance and prevented the protesters from blocking the equipment’s transport.
