North Korea renewed threats against the U.S. territory of Guam as South Korea and the United States prepare for a joint naval exercise next week.
“We have already warned several times that we will take counteractions for self-defense, including a salvo of missiles into waters near the US territory of Guam,” Pyongyang said in a state-run KCNA report. It quoted Kim Kwang Hak, researcher at the North Korean Institute for American Studies, which is overseen by the North Korean Foreign Ministry.
