Daily Mail: The next one is heading for Guam': Giggling tyrant Kim Jong-un warns he will target US Pacific base and fire more rockets over 'cruel' neighbour Japan after overseeing 'curtain raiser' ballistic missile launch
* North Korea's test missile launch saw a ballistic missile fly over northern Japan
* Kim Jong-un expressed satisfaction and warned it was merely a 'curtain raiser'
* State media called it a 'meaningful prelude to containing' US Pacific base Guam
* US Ambassador to the UN said it was time Pyongyang recognised the 'danger they are putting themselves in'
Kim Jong-un was there in person to oversee the launch of North Korea's latest long-range ballistic missile test which flew 1,700 miles over Japan.
The dictator was pictured laughing with top officials as the Hwasong-12 was unleashed on Tuesday and later warned the launch was a mere 'curtain raiser'.
State media boasted that the test was timed to mark the 107th anniversary of the 'disgraceful' Japan-Korea treaty of 1910, under which Tokyo colonised the Korean peninsula.
It was part of 'a bold plan to make the cruel Japanese islanders insensible on bloody August 29', the KCNA agency said, adding that the test was a 'meaningful prelude to containing Guam', the US Pacific base.
This morning, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley warned America will not allow North Korea's lawlessness to continue adding it is time for Pyongyang to recognise the 'danger they are putting themselves in' as the world is united against them.
