Oh thought you meant US for a sec. Holy shit that sucks though, good luck

 

[ponpo]

[Reversed]

[Apharmd]

My friends in Japan are getting a fucking warning about this. What the fuck is going on?

 

[Hoo-doo]

Seeing tons of posts in my FB group about the alert

This is odd, isn't it?

 

[PopeReal]

Hopefully it is heading to the ocean? Weren't they testing again soon?

 

[SRG01]

This is odd, isn't it?

Yeah they launched three failed missiles recently and nothing in the media...

Stay safe guys

 

[Volimar]

What a thing to wake up to.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

This shit is reaching a boiling point.

fuck fuck fuck

pls be fake

 

[iMax]

What does the alert say?

 

[Kayhan]

Yikes.

 

[MogCakes]

Hoping it's a test dud

 

[Gaz_RB]

Don't they launch missiles all the time?

 

[ponpo]

Just got another warning.

Also defense batteries are outside.

Don't they launch missiles all the time?

Yeah but like half the country is getting alerts now which never happens

 

[Ryouji Gunblade]

It's headed to northern Japan, it seems.

Edit: Beaten.

 

[Nevasleep]

"A missile was fired from North Korea. Please evacuate to a sturdy building or basement."

Whats the flight time on these missiles?

 

[PopeReal]

Just got another warning.

Also defense batteries are outside.

Holy shit.

 

[Ganhyun]

So did they aim it in a way that worried Japanese officials to cause this alert?

 

[RandomExpletive]

Hope its a false alarm, stay safe JapanGaf

 

[Hickbilly Deluxe]

They are not wise people.

 

[BitStyle]

Shit

Hoping it's a test

 

[EnlightenedMint]

Holy shit this is scary.

 

[benicillin]

So did they aim it in a way that worried Japanese officials to cause this alert?

Probably, yeah. If it looks like it's headed in their direction they aren't going to assume it's a dud or aimed into the ocean, they're going to warn people.

 

[norinrad]

Still waiting for that fury from Trump.

 

[Tom Nook Sawyer]

How long would a missile take to reach Japan from NK?

Edit: 10 minutes

 

[Reani]

reading this live even from the other side of the world (europe) is crazy.

madness.

 

[Betty]

This is like the start to the nightmare thread of NK actually doing something I always dreaded.

Hopefully this is another big nothing.

 

[shandy706]

North Korea about to be wiped off map?

Be safe Japan gaf!!

 

[Kaako]

Uhhh WTF, this better be a test launch. What you mean it's headed towards Japan?!!

 

[Übermatik]

No fucking thank-you.

Praying no-one is hurt.

 

[avaya]

How long would a missile take to reach Japan from NK?

We will know within the next 15mins.

 

[Deleted member 1159]

Wait so they launched it into the sea or it's currently en route?

 

[Zoc]

Got a second alert that it passed by. Took 12 minutes.

 

[Oriel]

Relax, it's just more dick waving by Fat Boy Kim.

 

[jobrro]

Scary. Didn't get anything on my phone (Tokyo) but turned on the TV after seeing this thread.

 

[Negaduck]

Scary. Stay safe everyone in Japan.

Might have to actually use that Gundam you guys are building.

 

[Volimar]

Hunker down JapanGAF.

 

[_woLf]

Whoa.

I hope this doesn't end poorly.

 

[8-Bit Sunset]

This is odd, isn't it?

Yeah.
First time this has happened like this
A lot of prefectures under warning.

edit: Now entered and passing over Japan.

 

[Kalor]

Hopefully this is just aimed for the waters and this is officials being cautious.

 

[PandaPandaPanda]

Still waiting for that fury from Trump.

the only fury coming from him is from his ass when he sits down on the toilet

 

[Apharmd]

Got a second alert that it passed by. Took 12 minutes.

It passed by? Like the missile just went through and did not touch Japan at all?

 

[carlsojo]

Relax, it's just more dick waving by Fat Boy Kim.

This isn't fucking dick-waving, it's a missile aimed at a country.
