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.

China Suspends Flights to North Korea,
Vessels and Aircraft Avoiding Area
Published on Apr 14, 2017
http://undergroundworldnews.comIn the latest escalation over what may be an imminent preemptive airstrike on North Korea by US warships now located just 300 miles away from the North Korean nuclear test site, moments ago China's national airline, Air China, announced it was suspending flights from Beijing to the North Korean capital, Pyongyang, from late on Friday, Chinese state broadcaster CCTV said. It did not say why the flights, which operate on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, were being suspended.
In the report published on its website, CCTV did not cite a source while according to Reuters, Air China could not immediately be reached for comment after business hours. The last flight between the two cities took place on Friday, with the return flight to Beijing arriving in the early evening, the broadcaster said. Air China began regular flights between the two countries in 2008 but the flights were frequently cancelled because of unspecified problems, the broadcaster said. China is North Korea's sole major ally but it disapproves of the North's weapons programs, and its confrontations with the United States and its Asian allies, and it has supported U.N. sanctions against it.
Following repeated missile tests that drew international criticism, China banned all imports of North Korean coal on Feb. 26, cutting off the country's most important export product. North Korea's army vowed a 'merciless' response to any US provocation, the official news agency reported Friday, as tensions soar over Pyongyang's rogue nuclear program.
