MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Russia could deploy missile units in the country's eastern regions in response to the deployment of US missile defense in South Korea, the deputy chair of the Russian upper house’s Arms Committee said Friday.

"We will take into consideration the decision on deployment of US missile defense in South Korea for our military planning. In cooperation with the defense ministry we will work out certain decisions on strengthening of influence in this direction, including through deployment of missile and ground units," Yevgeny Serebrennikov said
