Fox News
North Korea launched a missile Thursday that prompted evacuation warnings from Japanese officials, who believed that Hokkaido would be hit. Officials say it was a false alarm.
The Japanese government alerted residents of Hokkaido – the northernmost main island of Japan – to take cover, warning that it was likely to fall near the island around 8 a.m.
"Evacuate immediately. Immediately evacuate inside the building or underground," the warning read. "The missile is expected to fall around Hokkaido around 08:00. Please evacuate immediately."
