Seoul, Oct 13 (IBNS): North Korea has once again threatened to launch missiles towards the US territory of Guam, media reports said.

North Korea first said it was examining a plan to target the Pacific island in August after US President Donald Trump warned the isolated regime would "face fire and fury like the world has never seen" following a US intelligence assessment that North Korea had produced a miniaturized nuclear warhead, CNN reported.

"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," the KCNA report quoted Kim Kwang Hak, a researcher at the Institute for American Studies of the North Korean Foreign Ministry, as saying, reported CNN.

North Korea issued fresh warnings amid rising tension between the two countries in recent times.

Tensions between the two nations is posed to rise as  US and South Korea joint naval exercises begin on Monday.
