SITUATION IN KOREAN PENINSULA HOTS UP
• North Korea tells foreigners in South Korea to evacuate• The scenario inching towards thermo-nuclear war in Korean peninsula
• Japan deploys PAC-3 batteries
North Korea said on April 9, 2013 that the Korean peninsula was headed for a 'Thermo-nuclear' war and advised foreigners in South Korea to consider evacuation, in the latest in a series of
apocalyptic threats.
It followed a similar warning issued earlier to foreign embassies in its capital Pyongyang to consider evacuation by April 10, saying it could not ensure the safety of their personnel if a conflict broke out.
"The situation on the Korean peninsula is inching close to a thermo nuclear war", the North's Asia-Pacific Peace Committee said in a statement carried b the North's official Korean Central News Agency.
Saying it did not want to see foreigners in South Korea fall victim, the statement requested all foreign institutions, enterprises and tourists "to take measures for shelter and evacuation in advance for their safety."
The Committee blamed the heightened war risk on the 'war-mongering US', and its South Korean puppets, who were intent on invading the North.
