The Ministry of Public Administration and Security said today that North Korea issued an alert in the Baengnyeong area by firing a projectile it claimed to have a satellite mounted in the direction of the West Sea.
However, the Ministry of Public Administration and Security said that the emergency text message sent by Seoul City at 6:43 a.m. today was sent by mistake, as Seoul does not fall under the warning zone.
In this regard, the Seoul Metropolitan Government is currently trying to figure out the exact circumstances.
According to the Seoul Metropolitan Government, following North Korea’s projectile launch was announced this morning, the city issued a warning to citizens, which was spread through mobile phones.
Accordingly, an emergency disaster text message was sent to the citizens, saying, “Today at 6:32, a warning is issued in the Seoul area. Citizens, please prepare to evacuate, and allow children and the elderly to evacuate first.”
However, the Ministry of Public Administration and Security subsequently sent a text message saying, “We inform you that the alert issued by the city of Seoul is an erroneous issue.”
The city of Seoul explained, “We are figuring out how the warning text message was sent through the emergency planning office.”
