SEOUL, South Korea – Foreign diplomats huddle in Pyongyang to discuss a North Korea warning on their safety, as concern grows that North Korea is preparing an imminent missile launch at a time of soaring nuclear tensions.
North Korea on Friday, April 5, warned foreign embassies in Pyongyang it was unable to guarantee their safety in the event of conflict and that they should consider evacuating missions by next week amid soaring nuclear tensions.
European countries with embassies in Pyongyang, such as Britain and Russia, reported receiving the warning as an increasingly bellicose North Korea moved two mid-range missiles to its east coast.
Earlier, a Foreign Office spokeswoman said Pyongyang had warned that “from April 10 (it) would be unable to guarantee the safety of embassies and international organisations in the country in the event of conflict”.
The recent nuclear tensions erupted when North Korea fired a long-range rocket on December 12 that splashed down near the Philippines. Pyongyang said it was a peaceful satellite launch and US experts acknowledge that the regime put a small object into orbit. – Rappler.com
