Re: North Korea
Terrifying for Japan.
Apparently the initial signals only indicated a missile heading their way and sparked emergency notifications on everyone's phones telling them to head for 'sturdy buildings'.
There are also reports that immediately following the launch the US Government and primed retaliatory strikes. We were this close to a war.
I am not sure what the US and Japan can do here other than try to keep the situation calm. China will have to do something, cut of supplies maybe, but that risks isolating the regime further and giving them nothing to lose. We can't bomb the place to dust because they can easily level Seoul before we've taken them out.
