San Diego is a Target on North Korea's Attack Map
North Korean threatens to strike the United States - San Diego may be on the list.
On Friday March 29th national and international news agencies reported on North Korea's public threat to attack US cities as well as military bases in Hawaii, Guam, and South Korea.
North Korea's leader, Kim Jong Un, signed an order allegedly approving the potential strikes in-part as a response to the United States recently flying two stealth bombers in South Korea.
Photos from the signing event include maps of America in the background showing a few cities as targets. Several news agencies refer to NK New's analysis of the photos.
"A composite overlay appears to show San Diego, Washington D.C., Hawaii and possibly Austin as being primary targets in a North Korean attack plan," according to NK News.
A BBC report lays out a recent timeline leading North Korea to it's declaration of war on South Korea, an ally of the United States. The report also includes a map of what is thought to be North Korea's missile ranges. San Diego does not appear to be in range. However, Guam which is home to an important United States bomber base is in range.
There does not seem to be any government agencies warning San Diegians to be in a heightened state of awareness, but if nothing else North Korea's threat serves as a reminder that San Diego is indeed a strategic military target - if America was to be attacked that is.
