North Korea on Wednesday responded to a new round of threats from President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Jim Mattis -- with a claim that it could launch four missiles in Guam's direction within just a week. TRUMP AND HIS ADMINISTRATION ARE 'SPEAKING WITH ONE VOICE' ON NORTH KOREA, STATE DEPARTMENT SAYSThe statement from the North said its plan to strike Guam would feature a "historic enveloping fire" at the U.S. Pacific territory.

The plan to strike near Guam would include the "simultaneous" firing of four Hwasong-12 intermediate-range ballistic rockets (IRBM), according to South Korea's Yonhap News Agency. North Korea's KCNA reported the rockets would cross over Shimane, Hiroshima and Koichi before landing in the surrounding waters, 18 to 24 miles away from Guam.
