After North Korea’s attempt to launch a satellite, a “get ready to evacuate” message was sent to mobile phones in South Korea! According to Yonhap’s report, after the South Korean General Staff announced that North Korea was attempting to launch a satellite, the Seoul city government sent a warning message to their mobile phones.
‘GET READY’ FIRST, THEN ‘ACCURATE’
About 20 minutes after the message with the content “Get ready to evacuate”, the Ministry of Interior sent a notification to the same phones that the message was sent “by mistake”.
The city government has been the focus of criticism for causing public concern and not clearly stating what was going on in the warning message.
HE DECIDED THAT THE WARNING WAS NOT MADE ACCIDENTALLY
While apologizing for the “confusion”, Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon argued that the warning was not made by mistake, and that the message was edited upon notification from the ministry.
DECLARED TO FAILED
It was reported that North Korea’s military satellite launch in the morning failed due to a malfunction in the carrier rocket system.
The UN Security Council banned North Korea from launching with guided missile technology as part of its sanctions over its nuclear weapons program. (AA)
