It’s deja vu, all over again.<\/p>\n

Just four days after residents of Hawaii lived through 38 minutes of doomsday hell, after a false public broadcast alarm announced that a ballistic missile launch was headed for the island, only to reverse and announce later it was a mistake, moments ago Japan’s National broadcaster NHK\u2019s app issued a false J-Alert to phones over a North Korean missile launch at 6:55 p.m. Tuesday evening local time.<\/p>\n

The message, received by phone users with the NHK app installed on their devices, read: “NHK news alert. North Korea likely to have launched missile. The government J alert: evacuate inside the building or underground. “<\/strong><\/p>\n
