US sets its first Space Force base in South Korea

Seoul: The US Defense Force has opened its first space force base in South Korea. This will help monitor the dangerous activities of North Korea, China and Russia, the US Defense Force claimed. Britain, France, Australia and South Korea also created their separate space force units this month. Meanwhile, it is surprising that the Pentagon has bypassed the US or Europe and started the base directly in South Korea.
