North Korea threatens strike on Guam. North Korea's military is "examining the operational plan" to strike areas around Guam with medium-to-long-range strategic ballistic missiles, state-run news agency KCNA said early Wednesday local time.

North Korea's military is "examining the operational plan" to strike areas around Guam with medium-to-long-range strategic ballistic missiles, state-run news agency KCNA said early Wednesday local time. Guam's Office of Civil Defense issued a statement Wednesday saying there was no imminent threat to the safety of the US territory's residents and visitors. Around 160,000 people live on Guam, including thousands of US troops.
"As of this morning, we have not changed our stance in confidence that the US Department of Defense is monitoring this situation very closely and is maintaining a condition of readiness, daily," said George Charfauros, Guam's Homeland Security Adviser, according to the statement. "We will continue to keep the public updated on any changes or requests for action. For now, we advise the community to remain calm, remember that there are defenses in place for threats such as North Korea and to continue to remain prepared for all hazards." "We always maintain a high state of readiness and have the capabilities to counter any threat, to include those from North Korea," spokesman Johnny Michael told CNN.
The threat from North Korea comes hours after US President Donald Trump warned Pyongyang that if it continued to threaten the US, it would "face fire and fury like the world has never seen." The North Korean threat elucidated in its state media is a reaction to the flight of US B-1B bombers over the Korean peninsula. The bombers flew out of Andersen Air Force Base in Guam. While the statement in KCNA came out following Trump's threat, it would have taken several hours to draft and translate, and refers directly to the US flights.
"In the morning of August 8 the air pirates of Guam again appeared in the sky above South Korea to stage a mad-cap drill simulating an actual war," the statement reads.
The bombers flew out of Guam on Monday as part of the US Air Force's "continuous bomber presence," according to the spokesman. The bombers were joined by Japanese and South Korean aircraft during their mission.
