South Korea to hold nationwide evacuation drill against North Korean air raids

All residents will be required to seek shelter during Aug. 23 exercise, the first in 6 years

The exercise on Aug. 23 will require people across the country to evacuate to designated shelters “to strengthen the response capacity of the citizens during an enemy air raid,” the Ministry of Interior and Safety said in a press release.
