North Korea says it will develop Guam strike plan by 'mid-August'
North Korea
Hwasong-12 rockets would pass over Japan and land in the sea about 30km (17 miles) from Guam if the plan was approved by Kim Jong-un, the official KCNA news agency said
North Korea on Thursday said it will be ready by mid-August to fire four missiles near the US territory of Guam after Trump's warning to Pyongyang that any additional threats will be met with "fire and fury".
Hwasong-12 rockets would pass over Japan and land in the sea about 30km (17 miles) from Guam, if the plan was approved by Kim Jong-un, the official KCNA news agency said.
"They will fly 3,356.7km for 1,065 seconds and hit the waters 30-40km away from Guam," KCNA quoted army chief General Kim Rak Gyom as saying.
Guam is home to about 163,000 people and a US military base that includes a submarine squadron, an air base and a Coast Guard group.
It also saidDonald Trump's "fire and fury" comments earlier this week are a "load of nonsense", saying only "absolute force can work on him".
