PYONGYANG, July 14 (Xinhua) -- The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) Thursday slammed South Korea for its decision to deploy Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) despite strong opposition at home and abroad, saying that Seoul was "kowtowing to the U.S. brigandish demand."
By doing so, the South Korean government "sold off the destiny and interests of the nation and harassed regional peace and stability," a spokesman for the Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of Korea said in a statement carried by the state-run news agency KCNA.
The THAAD deployment has revealed the intention of South Korean President Park Geun-hye to seek escalated confrontation between the two Koreas and even northward invasion, said the statement.
The statement also warned that the Park administration will "have to pay most severely and bitterly" for this decision as it has "submitted to the U.S." and "offered the Korean Peninsula to foreign forces."
