The North Korean Army Staff said that Washington was formally know that U.S. threats will be "flattened" using " nuclear means modern, light and diverse " , the statement said."The merciless operation of the Revolutionary Armed Forces in this regard has been finally examined and ratified, "he said. Meanwhile, the Obama administration announced that it will deploy, "in the coming weeks", a THAAD missile battery on the island of Guam , in the Pacific, where it has an important military base, threatened by the regime of Kim Jong -a. The move adds to deploy two Aegis missile destroyers in the western Pacific at the escalation of tension on the Korean peninsula. As Patriot, THAAD is a terrestrial system that is moved on a truck. Besides interceptors, includes an X-band radar can determine the origin and trajectory of a ballistic missile. About 6,000 military personnel are stationed in Guam , U.S. territory of Marianas archipelago located 3380 km southeast of North Korea, along with submarines and B-52 bombers that flew over the last few weeks in South Korea. "The United States is warning against North Korean provocations and remain ready to defend the U.S. homeland, our allies and our national interests," said the Pentagon's statement. Days ago, the regime of Kim Jong- one was declared in a state of war with South Korea .Both countries are still technically at war because their conflict of 1950-1953 ended with an armistice, not a peace agreement. Tensions on the Korean peninsula rose sharply since the third nuclear test conducted by North Korea in February, followed by new sanctions by the UN and joint military exercises with Seoul and Washington, to which North Korea responded by suspending the ceasefire agreement fire with its southern neighbor that ended the Korean War in 1953, and many threats of attacks.
