North Korea, at least according to the authorities of this country, is finalizing plans to launch four intermediate-level missiles over Japan to emerge in waters 18 to 25 miles from Guam's territory in the US Pacific.
As the foreign media writes, the North Korean army will complete its plans in mid-August to be ready for Kim Jong Un's order, KCNA reported, citing General Kim Rak Gyom, Commander of Strategic Force Korean People's Army.
"The Hwasong-12 missiles will be launched by the Korean People's Army (KPA) and will cross the skies over Shimane, Hiroshima and Koichi of Japan," the report said.
The "chili" warning comes after US President Donald Trump pledged to launch 'fires and rage' if North Korea threatens the US.
