North Korea is believed to have completed preparations for a missile launch after it moved two medium-range Musudan missiles to its east coast, according to South Korea.
The launch could happen "anytime from now", South Korean Foreign Minister Yun Byung-se has stated, as cited by the BBC.
In anticipation, the South Korea-US Combined Forces have raised their alert level to Watchcon 2, to increase surveillance monitoring, Yonhap quoted a senior military official as saying.
The Musudan missile, which has a range of 3,500 kilometers (2,200 miles), could hit the US territory of Guam.
The United States has moved a missile defense system to Guam as a precautionary measure to intercept North Korean missiles if necessary.
Last week, North Korea asked foreign embassies based in Pyongyang to consider evacuating staff.
Pyongyang issued on Tuesday a warning to foreigners in South Korea, saying they should take steps to secure shelter or evacuation to protect themselves in the event of a conflict on the Korean Peninsula
