North Korea says its plan to fire
four missiles near the US territory of Guam will soon be ready, as a war of
words with Washington intensifies.
State media said Hwasong-12 rockets
would pass over Japan and land in the sea about from Guam, if the plan was
approved by Kim Jong-un.
It denounced Donald Trump's warnings of
"fire and fury".
The US has warned the North its
actions could mean the "end of its regime".
US Defence Secretary Jim Mattis said
Pyongyang would be "grossly overmatched" in any war against the US
and its allies.
The North first announced yesterday
that it was drawing up plans for a missile strike against Guam, a Pacific
island which is home to US military bases, strategic bombers and about 163,000
people.
A later statement carried by state
media said the military would "finally complete the plan" by
mid-August and report it to leader Kim Jong-un for his approval.
