“Japan’s public broadcaster sent out a false alert warning of a North Korean missile on Tuesday, just three days after Hawaii residents received an erroneous message about an incoming missile. ‘North Korea appears to have launched a missile … The government urges people to take shelter inside buildings or underground,’ the message read, according to a translation from Reuters. The false warning went out just before 7 p.m. in the evening, through broadcaster NHK’s Japanese mobile app and website.”
