Japan is dusting off a 1994 plan to deal with a mass exodus of North Koreans showing up on its shores in the event of war on the Korean Peninsula, according to Japanese media.
The move comes after multiple threats in recent months by North Korea to destroy Japan with nuclear weapons. In early October, North Korea threatened Japan with “nuclear clouds.”
