Officials have told US media that spy satellites have observed DPRK mobile missile launcher movement, indicating an intermediate-ballistic missile may be being prepared.
The report comes as US Secretary of Defence James Mattis warns any further escalation could rapidly lead to war: “Yes that means for a lot of young troops they’re going to be in a wartime situation.”
‘DELIGHTFUL HISTORIC MOMENT’
Pyongyang’s state media has this morning reported President Kim Jong-un as “praising” his Strategic Force for drawing up a “careful” plan for a “power demonstration” to “envelope” Guam in fire.
“The nuclear force of the DPRK is strong in its guts and no one can guess its muscle as the flight trajectory of medium-to-long ballistic rocket Hwasong-12, firing data and the correct hitting-point are made public at home and abroad.”
Kim said he would “watch a little more” Washington’s behaviour, but he will make an “important” decision if the US continues its “extremely dangerous reckless actions”.
‘WARTIME SITUATION’
Mattis told reporters in Washington this morning the situation could escalate to war “very quickly”.
He said it could be assessed “within moments” if a missile fired from North Korea was on track to hit Guam.
The United States would “take out” any seen to be heading for American soil.
