According to Reuters, the photo shows North Korean leader Kim Jong Un holding a small stick and pointing to a map entitled: " rocket attack plan of the Strategic Force".
The map shows the missile's route starting from the east coast of North Korea, flying over Japan and falling near Guam - a US territory in the Pacific Ocean as Pyongyang claimed last week.
In another photo, a black and white satellite image of Andersen air base on Guam is seen hanging on the left wall of North Korean leader Kim Yong Un.
Mr. Kim Dong Yub - a military expert from the Far East Research Academy, Kyungnam University (Seoul, Korea) - commented that the launch site seen on the map seems to be near the coastal city of Sinpo, where the North Korean Submarine facility is located.
Mr. Kim Dong Yub said that the location near Sinpo is consistent with the information North Korea gave last week. Specifically, the 4 medium-range missiles will fly 3,356km in 1,065 seconds over the airspace of Japan's Shimane, Hiroshima, and Koichi provinces and fall into the sea from 30km to 40km from Guam.
"All North Koreans have probably seen this photo on television and in newspapers. Pyongyang is showing its confidence and is telling the US that if the US wants to stop it, they can try. This is also a sign that North Korea has been studying this issue for a long time and is ready to act if necessary," said Mr. Kim Dong Yub.
Earlier this week, US Secretary of Defense James Mattis warned that the US military would intercept if North Korean missiles were fired towards Guam.
In 2013, tensions on the Korean peninsula increased when Pyongyang threatened to launch missile attacks on US bases in the Pacific Ocean, including Guam and Hawaii. The country also released a photo of the North Korean leader in the military command, signing an order to attack the missile into US territory. The photo shows a large map named the "US territorial Area Area Plan".
