On Wednesday, North Korea responded to a round of
threats from Defense Secretary Jim Mattis and Trump -- with a statement that it
could launch 4 missiles within Guam's direction inside of just one week.
In a claim released by KCNA, its state-run media, the general
of North Korea who oversees the rocket command of the regime stated it’d follow
through with its strategy to attack waters close to Guam by the middle of
August, and “wait for” orders from their commander-in-chief of its nuclear
force.
This report comes after President Trump came on
Twitter Wednesday, and noted that the United States nuclear arsenal now ‘is
more powerful and far stronger than ever before,’ and added, ‘Hopefully we never
will need to use that power; however, there never will be a time that we aren’t
the most powerful nation worldwide!’
The comment from the North stated that its strategy to
strike Guam could feature a "historic enveloping fire" inside the
United States Pacific territory.
NK referred to the U.S. President’s threat of
responding with "fire & fury" a "load of nonsense," and
added that "only absolute force" may work on the president.
Statements from the general reported the all acts
against Guam might be ‘an efficient remedy for restraining the moves of the
United States within the southern portion of the Korean peninsula as well as
its vicinity.’
Mattis, earlier Wednesday, placed his own warning out,
and told the rogue nation to halt its actions which could ‘lead to the destruction
of its people and end of its regime.’
According
to SK's Yonhap News Agency, the strategy to strike close to
Guam could involve the "simultaneous" firing of 4 Hwasong-12 IRBM
(intermediate range ballistic rockets).
NK's KCNA stated that the rockets could cross over
Koichi, Hiroshima, and Shimane prior to landing within the surrounding waters,
18 - 24 miles from Guam.
