WASHINGTON, April 16 (Yonhap) -- The United States is in discussions about a potential deployment of the THAAD missile defense system to South Korea to counter North Korea's nuclear and missile threats, the U.S. Pacific commander said Thursday.

Adm. Samuel Locklear made the remark during a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing, but did not elaborate on what those discussions are, including whether they are internal discussions in the U.S. military or whether they mean talks with South Korea.

Abe says Japan will take “concrete actions” under the Japan-US alliance in order to respond to any emergency amid Pyongyang’s “escalating provocation.”

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe says the threat from North Korea is the most serious security concern his country has faced since World War II and has pledged to bolster defense measures.

Outlining priorities in his policy speech in parliament on Friday, Mr. Abe called North Korea’s sixth nuclear test and missiles that flew over Japan earlier this year “a national crisis.”

Mr. Abe says Japan will take “concrete actions” under the Japan-US alliance in order to respond to any emergency amid Pyongyang’s “escalating provocation.” He says Japan will further strengthen its missile defense capability.

Japan’s defense spending has steadily increased since Mr. Abe took office in 2012. Tokyo has said it plans to buy more American missile defense systems.
