America Vs N’Korea: Japan Prepares Citizens for Nuclear Attack

Japan has broadcast a television warning urging citizens to lie on the ground or seek shelter in the event of North Korea launching a nuclear attack.
The government advice also tells people to stay away from windows, protect their heads if they are indoors and to hide behind solid objects if an attack is imminent.
Instructions triggered by Japan’s satellite-based J-Alert public warning system will be sent out through speakers installed across the country, the 30-second clip confirms.
The broadcast comes amid heightened tensions between the West and North Korea under dictator, Kim Jong-un.
According to Kyodo News, the advice is being aired by 43 television stations across Japan form now until early July. Instructions are also being issued in 70 newspapers.
Earlier this year, Japanese civilians were told to expect a mere ten-minute warning if Kim Jong-un launches a nuclear attack.
Tokyo officials advised people to seek shelter underground or in a strong concrete building in the event of a North Korean missile strike.
It was also reported that a national system of safety drills may also be rolled out while there has been a spike in demand for home nuclear bunkers.
North Korean missile tests have fired with increasing frequency. Last month, three fell into waters within Japan’s exclusive economic zone, some 185 miles off the coast of northern Akita prefecture.
In May, North Korea warned Japan can expect to be “blanketed with radioactive clouds” if nuclear war breaks out.
Pyongyang issued a threat to US allies in the region in a newspaper commentary called: “Japan’s Reckless Act Which Drives Itself into Ruin.”
It warned Japan to expect the biggest impact should any conflict arise out of the crisis on the Korean Peninsula.
The Rodong Sinmun state newspaper said: “First of all, Japan, which is the U.S. forces’ logistics, launch and sorties bases, would be blanketed with radioactive clouds if a nuclear war occur on the Korean Peninsula.”
