Jack68: I know US has technology to defend themself from north korean missiles but concerning point for me is that can they defend totally south korea and japan
By Mark Stone, Asia Correspondent North Korea has threatened to attack American airbases on the Japanese island of Okinawa and the Pacific island of Guam.
A statement by Kim Yong Chul, the spokesman of the Supreme Command of the Korean People's Army warned of "military actions".
"The US should not forget that the Anderson Air Force Base on Guam where B-52 bombers take off and naval bases in Japan and Okinawa where nuclear-powered submarines are launched are within the striking range of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) precision strike means," the statement read.
"Now that the US started open nuclear blackmail and threat, the DPRK, too, will move to take corresponding military actions."
The words mark the latest escalation in a lengthy stand-off as North Korea defies calls from the rest of the world to halt its dual nuclear and ballistic missile programmes.
(Reuters) - South Korea will buy more U.S. weapons to strengthen its military and try to deter North Korean provocation, Seoul's ambassador to the United States said on Tuesday.. Surprise surprise..

Computers are seen down at the office of broadcaster YTN in Seoul
Email An investigation is under way into the simultaneous shutdown of computer networks at several major broadcasters and banks in South Korea, with suspicion falling on North Korea.
The shutdown came days after North Korea blamed the South and the US for cyber attacks that temporarily closed websites in Pyongyang.
While the cause was not immediately clear, there has been speculation of a possible North Korean cyber attack.
Officials at the two South Korean public broadcasters KBS and MBC said that all computers at their companies blacked out - but did not cause any damage to their daily TV broadcasts.
YTN cable news channel reported that the company's internal computer network was completely paralysed.
The servers of YTN were brought down Local TV showed workers staring at blank computer screens, and at one coffee shop employees asked for cash, saying their credit card machine was not working.
The state-run Korea Information Security Agency confirmed that computers at at least five South Korean companies were down. The agency was investigating what caused the outage.
Shinhan Bank, a lender of South Korea's fourth-largest banking group, said the bank's system, including online banking and cash machines, had stopped working.
The company was unable to conduct any transactions with customers at bank windows, including retail banking and corporate banking.
Tensions between the neighbouring countries are high following North Korea's recent nuclear test and the UN sanctions that followed.
Accusations of cyber attacks on the Korean Peninsula are not new. Seoul believes Pyongyang was behind at least two cyber attacks on its companies in 2011 and 2012.
