BREAKING: Japan Preparing to Evacuate 60,000 Citizens From South Korea
Urgent discussions held as tensions build
Japan is finalizing
plans to evacuate 60,000 of its citizens from South Korea in the event
of war as tensions between the United States and North Korea continue to
build.
Japan’s National
Security Council has held urgent discussions on how it would provide
safe passage for its citizens if a major crisis arose out of a potential
North Korean nuclear test, which some have predicted could happen this
weekend.
Japanese authorities are
also readying for a potential wave of North Korean refugees to pour into
the country, amongst whom could be hidden spies and agents, Japanese
media reported.
“Besides
commercial ships and planes, Japan would want to send military aircraft
and ships to assist in the evacuation if the South Korean government
agreed,” reports Press TV.
The
official who revealed the plan declined to be identified, citing the
“sensitivity” of the topic. A Japanese ruling party lawmaker and a
government source also told Reuters this week that authorities in Japan
were preparing for an influx of North Korean refugees, but that such
preparations were being kept secretive so as not to stir public anxiety.
Millions
of citizens in Seoul and other major South Korean cities could be at
risk if North Korea decides to retaliate against U.S. aggression.
It
was also reported yesterday that North Korea has evacuated 600,000
citizens from Pyongyang because the city does not have enough bunkers to
shelter its entire population. although the veracity of that report was
subsequently questioned.
North Korea’s Vice foreign minister Han Song Ryol told the Associated Press today that the country is prepared to use its most “powerful nuclear deterrent” if the U.S. launched a pre-emptive strike.
NBC reported yesterday
that the Trump administration could launch a conventional pre-emptive
strike if it suspects North Korea is about to follow through on a
nuclear weapons test, although this was subsequently denied by Pentagon
officials.
