My primary concern is missile launches towards US bases in SK and Japan - specifically ones with nuclear warheads on them. I assume a viable deterrent is in place, but have not heard much about it.

Japan had nothing for several years, but eventually the US decided it wanted help from Japan as a counterbalance to China, NK, etc. and now they have a very modern Self Defense Force, which is only supposed to be for Defense. However, the last time I looked at Japan's defense budget, it was in the top 10.

"The SK part was lit up like a christmas tree and the North was pitch black !! "

I have seen that picture. Only Pyongyang, in the west is a little blob of light in the North.

Guam is further away than Japan and has a lot less people. I doubt it's a prime target for NK.

Here's a better and more recent satellite image . The previous was 1994-5 – this one is 2011... lighting better but still very sparse.
