Another False Missile Alert! North Korea Warning Sent Out by Japanese Broadcaster (Video)
Japanese public broadcaster NHK issued a false alarm about a North Korean missile launch on Tuesday, just days after a similar gaffe caused panic in Hawaii, but the broadcaster managed to correct the error within minutes.
Japanese public broadcaster NHK issued a false alarm about a North Korean missile launch on Tuesday, just days after a similar gaffe caused panic in Hawaii, but the broadcaster managed to correct the error within minutes.
The mistake took place at a tense time in the region following North Korea’s largest nuclear test to date in September and its claim in November that it had successfully tested a new type of intercontinental ballistic missile that could reach all of the U.S. mainland.
Pyongyang regularly threatens to destroy Japan and the United States.
But there were no immediate reports of panic or other disruptions following the NHK report.
NHK’s 6.55 p.m. local time alert said: “North Korea appears to have launched a missile … The government urges people to take shelter inside buildings or underground.”
The same alert was sent to mobile phone users of NHK’s online news distribution service.
In five minutes, the broadcaster put out another message on the website correcting itself and said no government warning — called “J-alert” — had been issued.
Regional tension soared after North Korea in September conducted its sixth and largest nuclear test, and in November said it had successfully tested a new type of intercontinental ballistic missile that could reach all of the U.S. mainland. It regularly threatens to destroy Japan and the United States.
Human error and a lack of fail-safe measures during a civil defence warning drill led to the false missile alert that stirred panic across Hawaii, a state emergency management agency spokesperson said.
Elaborating on the origins of Saturday’s false alarm, which went uncorrected for nearly 40 minutes, spokesperson Richard Rapoza said the employee who mistakenly sent the missile alert had been “temporarily reassigned” to other duties.
‘Nowhere to run’
Japan’s J-Alert system was put to the test last August when North Korea fired a ballistic missile over Japan that eventually landed in waters off the northern region of Hokkaido.
The government’s J-Alert system broke into radio and TV programming, warning citizens of the possible missile. Bullet train services were temporarily halted and warnings went out over loudspeakers in towns in Hokkaido.
“I was woken by the missile alert on my cellphone,” said Ayaka Nishijima, 41, an office worker from Morioka, the capital of Iwate prefecture, 300 kilometres south of Cape Erimo.
“I didn’t feel prepared at all. Even if we get these alerts, there’s nowhere to run. It’s not like we have a basement or bomb shelter, all we can do is get away from the window,” she told Reuters by text message.

FYI: Saw a report just now here: http://phibetaiota.net/2018/01/defdog-there-was-a-missile-government-is-lying/
Says there was a missile not fired by North Korea – intercepted by US missile defense. From a submarine either Israeli or German loyal to deep state that wants Trump out of power. Describes failsafe components of Hawaii civil defense warning system – requires 2 people to activate. If this is true we are getting a scripted cover-up. Same thing happened in Japan today…probably same sub. Looks like we are at war with proxy actors that control submarines and are willing to risk a nuclear exchange to have DJT removed. YIKES!
You must know this is all being done on purpose. To prod you sheep. Poke you with sticks.
There will be no war, and if they do attack NorKor it will be over quickly. Very quickly, but they just want you to appreciate what they are doing for you.
The closest thing they can do is to POKE you sheep and laugh at the big scare for your Kim Jong Un-appreciation.
