North Korea said on Wednesday it is considering plans for a missile strike on the US Pacific territory of Guam, just hours after US President Donald Trump told the North that any threat to the United States would be met with “fire and fury”.
The sharp ratcheting-up of tensions came after the revelation that US intelligence concluded North Korea had successfully developed technology to fire nuclear-tipped intercontinental missiles. That prompted Trump’s “fire and fury vow”.
Analysts said the development would likely lead to enhanced joint military operations by the US and its allies in the region.
