A Japanese town is training to evacuate in anticipation of North Korean bombing
Residents of a town on the Japanese coast conducted evacuation exercises in anticipation of North Korea launching missiles towards the Pacific island of Guam through their region.
An official in the town of 18,000 said nearly 130 people took part in the training.
It is estimated that if North Korea launches a missile, it could reach Japan in about 10 minutes.
Immediately after the sirens sounded in the town of Kotura, children playing soccer in the open ran into a school with their parents and their coach.
"I have to worry every day that something drops or drops a missile in an unexpected place," said coach Akira Hamakawa, 38.
For 10 minutes, people lay down and put their hands on their heads, and many participants said, "They were really worried."
The authorities are publishing newspaper tips, television and the Internet with strong buildings and keeping out of the windows in the event of missiles falling. However, evacuation training was carried out only in remote towns such as Kotura.
