The article goes on to state that "sound dialogue is not possible with such a guy bereft of reason and only absolute force can work on him."
North Korea's military will have a plan to send Hwasong 12 missiles toward Guam by "mid-August and report it to the commander-in-chief of the DPRK nuclear force and wait for his order," according to KCNA. Kim Jong Un is understood to be the commander-in-chief of the nuclear force.
The latest threat comes on the heels of a previous KCNA report that North Korea's military was "examining the operational plan" to strike areas around the US territory of Guam with medium-to-long-range strategic ballistic missiles.
Specifically, that statement mentioned a potential strike on Andersen Air Force Base designed "to send a serious warning signal to the US."
The base is one of two on the Pacific island, which are the closest bases on US soil to North Korea, and represent the westernmost tip of the country's military might.
Dubbed the "tip of the spear," Guam is a key to the US military's forward deployed presence in the Pacific and is home to thousands of American service members and their families.
Its importance has declined since World War II, given the creation of military bases in Japan and South Korea, says Carl Schuster, a Hawaii Pacific University professor and former director of operations at the US Pacific Command's Joint Intelligence Center. Now it is essentially a staging area, which sees rotations of bomber groups coming through.
