KORUT vs US: Missile Shot, 14 Minutes Up in Guam

LOS ANGELES - If the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) fires missiles towards Guam, the missile will take 14 minutes to reach the island and the alert system there will tell the people.
Guam's Domestic Security Office spokeswoman Jenna Gaminde was quoted by local daily Pacific Daily News as saying the residents would be immediately notified by Sirena 15 All-Hazards Alert Warning System - located in lowland areas across the island.
The All-Hazard Alert Warning System, which begins to be installed in 2014, is a system that, among other things, is designed for all hazards, including tsunamis, earthquakes and banjir bandang.
"Our office will be notified by the military and will use all forms of mass communication to send a message to the public," Gaminde said, as quoted by Xinhua, which monitored Antara in Jakarta on Friday afternoon. He added that the people must switch to the local media - radio, print, television - to find out more instructions, if they hear sirens.
Meanwhile, the report says the island's military continues to maintain standard operations amid threats and no change in threat levels.
According to the Missile Defense Advocacy Alliance (MDAA), a non-profit organization dedicated to defense systems in the United States, Guam is covered by a US missile defense system permanently deployed by the Department of Defense at Andersen Air Force Base, which includes the High Altitude Area Terminal System Defense (THAAD) and AN / TPY-2 radar system.
The DPRK military said in a statement on Thursday that its plan to attack Guam using medium-range missiles would be ready by mid-August and its implementation would depend on the decision of DPRK supreme leader Kim Jong Un.
It was a reaction to US President Donald Trump's harsh warning to the DPRK on Tuesday when he said "North Korea (DPRK) should not put out any more threats against the United States, they will be faced with gunfire and anger that the world has never seen before. "
