A North Korean missile sparked fear and confusion on the Japanese northern island of Hokkaido after the government’s emergency alert system warned residents to take cover -- but was then withdrawn.
A North Korean missile sparked fear on the Japanese northern island of Hokkaido Thursday after the government’s emergency alert system warned residents to take cover. Millions of people received a J-alert, or evacuation order, shortly before 8 a.m., urging them to seek shelter as the missile could land on or near the island.
The latest alarm came after North Korea fired what appeared to be a mid or longer range ballistic missile from an area near Pyongyang, at around 7:23 a.m. local time Thursday, according to South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff. The South Korean military believes Pyongyang was testing a new ballistic missile, which it had showcased in a military parade, according to a military official.
