Evacuation drills conducted in Japanese town due to safety concerns over North Korea





Residents in a small Japanese town have been conducting evacuation drills in the last few days, due to concerns about a imminent attack by North Korea.

Up to 280 people participated in the drills, including schoolchildren. Sirens and loudspeakers were used during the event.

The drill only highlights the heightened state of alert in the region, due to tensions between the United States, Japan, and North Korea.

The US has dispatched a number of naval and aerial assets to the area in recent times, and North Korea has been the subject to further sanctions over its rocket testing programme.
