Photographs have been released of North Korea’s leader Kim Jong-un visiting an army command and appearing to review its plans to strike the area around Guam with four missiles.

The photos, released with a report from the North's KCNA news agency, come as the leader said today he would hold off a planned missile strike, warning he would go ahead in the event of further “reckless actions” from Washington.

KCNA said Mr Kim was briefed on the “plan for an enveloping fire at Guam” during yesterday’s inspection of the Strategic Force command in charge of the nuclear-armed state’s missile units.


During the visit, he was photographed looking at a map while being briefed by military officers.

Mr Kim is shown sitting with other generals including Kim Jong Sik, a veteran rocket scientist behind North Korea’s missile programme, in a war room where other maps of operational zones in South Korea and Japan are hanging on a wall.

Some analysts suggested Mr Kim's comments today opened a possible path to de-escalating a growing crisis fuelled by a bellicose war of words between US President Donald Trump and the North Korean leadership.

Their recent exchanges were focused on a North Korean threat to fire a volley of four missiles over Japan towards the US territory of Guam, which hosts several strategic military bases.

But Mr Kim said he would "watch a little more the foolish and stupid conduct of the Yankees" before executing any order. If they "persist in their extremely dangerous reckless actions on the Korean peninsula," then North Korea would take action "as already declared," he was quoted as saying.

"In order to defuse the tensions and prevent the dangerous military conflict on the Korean peninsula, it is necessary for the US to make a proper option first," he added.

South Korean President Moon Jae-in said today there would be no military action without Seoul's consent and his government would prevent war by all means.

"Military action on the Korean peninsula can only be decided by South Korea and no one else can decide to take military action without the consent of South Korea," Moon said in a speech to commemorate the anniversary of the nation's liberation from Japanese military rule in 1945.

"The government, putting everything on the line, will block war by all means."

Mr Kim's latest announcement follows a week of heated exchanges between Pyongyang and Washington and a threat from North Korea to fire missiles into the ocean near the US territory.

North Korea's state media yesterday said Mr Kim is on the verge of being handed missile plans and cautioned that continued perceived US provocation could "lead to a nuclear war".

Last week Mr Trump declared the US is "locked and loaded" and ready to unleash "fire and fury" if North Korea continues to threaten America and its regional allies.

Yesterday, residents in Guam were rallying for peace in the face of possible North Korean missile strikes.

"Peace, not war, that's what our island is for," protesters chanted during the gathering at a park in the island's capital. A top US military officer currently in South Korea maintained the United States wants to peacefully resolve the standoff.

However, Marine Corps Gen. Joseph Dunford also underlined the US was ready to use the "full range" of its military capabilities in case of provocation.

There has been widespread debate about whether Washington would try to shoot the four intermediate-range Hwasong-12 missiles down if they're fired.





The North accused the United States of mobilising a huge number of weapons and troops for annual military drills with South Korea that begin later this month.

Pyongyang, which claims the drills are war preparation, says it will be ready to send its Guam missile launch plan to North Korean leader Mr Kim for approval just before or as the drills begin.

"What matters is that if a second conflict (on the peninsula) erupts, that cannot help but lead to a nuclear war," the North's official Korean Central News Agency said in a commentary.

"We are closely monitoring every move by the United States."

The US-North Korea impasse, which has simmered since the end of the Korean War in 1953, has grown more tense in recent months over worries that the North's nuclear weapons program is nearing the ability to target the US mainland.

Like Trump, most of what Kim says is for domestic consumption. Announcing an attack ahead of time, and while there is peace in the region, was always unlikely, but I suppose he still might do it. No one in their right mind would. His announced decision is not really a back down or a loss of face. No one anywhere thought an attack on Guam was a good idea. The worry-warts are relieved and Kim goes and gets another manicure knowing he can rattle everyone any time he chooses.

What we have witnessed is a major change in the behaviour of Kim Jong un

For the very first time someone and that someone is Donald Trump stopped him in his tracks

The World IN THIS INSTANCE should thank God for Donald Trump being tough and strong enough to call that madman Jong's bluff

Jong un will remain as stable as a hunk of gelignite however he is under no illusion that should he strike anyone, his Country will be decimated by the overpowering military might that the U.S. has in spades

Jong is a minnow in comparison albeit one with a growing nuclear capability

This isn't over by a long shot

Trump tweeted that Jog un "had made a wise decision in not firing his missiles'

That's tantamount to Trump throwing a bone to a dog...I'm sure that Korean melon head will chew it up

Bugga, I was looking forward to Kim Kong having his head blown off.
Meanwhile he continues on his merry journey towards being a nuclear power and is unstoppable, eventually one of his missiles will be pointed in our direction. Look out Darwin.
