Where would North Korea strike the US?
North Korea has made it clear that its first target would be the US Pacific territory of Guam, which is well within range of North Korean missiles.
Only about 2,100 miles from Korea, the tropical island is home to a US military base that hosts a submarine squadron, an American airbase and a Coast Guard group.
After North Korea threatened Guam, the pacific island of Hawaii began making preparations for a possible attack by Kim Jong-un’s regime.
At the end of last month, North Korea launched a missile which experts believe was capable of striking Los Angeles, Chicago and potentially even New York.
