South Korea To Run "NUCLEAR ATTACK" Evacuation Drill August 23
Fifty-one Million (51,000,000) citizens are REQUIRED to participate to practice evacuating to shelters or underground safe spaces during the 20-minute exercise. | The drill, scheduled for 2:00 PM on Wednesday, August 23, will see many drivers required to pull over to the side of roads and the exits to subway stations closed with commuters required to remain inside, a statement from the South Korean Interior Ministry said. ● The release said the 20-minute drill is part of a larger exercise to test the South Korean government’s response to potential threats including “advanced nuclear missile threats, cyber attacks, drone terrors, etc.” ● The prime minister also called on South Koreans to take the drills seriously, something that hasn’t always been the case. ● The Interior Ministry said 17,000 shelters would be open nationwide, and locations are searchable in popular Korean online apps. ● The South Korean prime minister said the civil defense drill would be held in conjunction with large-scale US-South Korea military exercises that have drawn sharp criticism from Pyongyang in the past.
