Military says NKorea missiles won’t hit PH

The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) on Friday allayed fears over North Korea’s plan to fire ballistic missiles near the US Pacific territory of Guam some 1,500 miles from Manila.

In a news conference, AFP spokesman Brig. Gen. Restituto Padilla Jr. said the possibility that the Philippines could be hit if North Korea proceeded with its threat was “remote.”
