North Korea 'prepares for WAR': Kim 'orders residents to evacuate Pyongyang IMMEDIATELY'

NORTH Korea has ordered 600,000 residents in Pyongyang to evacuate immediately as war fears escalate, according to staggering reports.

Russian newspaper Pravda Report claims 25% of the city's residents have been told to flee.

According to South Korean media, residents in the hermit kingdom have said goodbye to each other sparking concerns tyrannical Kim Jong-un could be about to act after months of nuclear weapon testing.

The latest rumours come after North Korean officials announced a "big and important event" tomorrow.

Foreign reporters have been told to prepare for the event on North Korea's biggest national celebration called "Day of the Sun".

MYSTERY: Foreign journalists in Pyongyang are preparing for a 'big event' tomorrow
“All of that is very worrisome because that may very well have a nuclear weapon someday”

Bruce Klingner
Around 200 foreign journalists are in Pyongyang as the country marks the 105th birth anniversary of its founding president Kim Il Sung on April 15.

Donald Trump and Jong-un continue to bash heads as war fears grow between the two nations.

Officials in North Korea have warned nuclear war could break out at any minute thanks to the "extremely tense" situation on the Korean Peninsula.

America sent a US Navy strike group towards the Western Pacific in a show of force, while North Korea warned it would launch a nuke attack in response to any act of aggression.

And China moved 150,000 soldiers close to the North Korea border in preparation for war.

It comes after Trump launched 59 Tomahawk missile to blast a Syrian airfield in response for the country's brutal chemical attack which killed 79 civilians.

North Korean officials gave no details about the nature of the surprise event or where it would take place, but in the past similar announcement have turned out to be relatively low-key.

They told foreign journalists in Pyongyang invited to mark the national holiday that their schedule had been cancelled, and to instead meet early on Thursday to prepare for a "big and important event".

In 2016 foreign journalists underwent hours of investigation by North Korean officials ahead of what turned out to be a pop concert to mark the finale of a ruling Workers' Party congress.

But on the 100th day of the Sun in April 2012, North Korea attempted to launch a long-range rocket.

With war tensions raging, some are wondering whether Kim will use the special date to strike America after months of threats over nuclear weapons.

Chinese President Xi Jinping called for a peaceful resolution to the North Korean problem in a telephone conversation with Trump today.

Security experts recently warned Kim could be planning an underwater nuclear attack using a secret submarine.

In the past North Korea's submarines have been able to disappear and avoid detection, with up to 50 vanishing off the radar in 2015.

Security expert Bruce Klingner told CNBC: “We didn't know where they were at the time. One would hope that we would keep very close tabs on those that could launch the submarine-launched ballistic missiles [SLBMs].

“All of that is very worrisome because that may very well have a nuclear weapon someday.”

U.S. Air Force deploys WC-135 “nuclear sniffer” plane to Japan to monitor North Korea’s possible nuke weapons tests

Apr 12 2017 - 0 Comments

By David Cenciotti
The WC-135C “nuke hunter” has deployed to Okinawa amid raising nuclear tensions with Pyongyang.
The U.S. Air Force WC-135C Constant Phoenix Nuclear explosion “sniffer” has arrived in Japan.

The aircraft was deployed to Kadena Air Base, Okinawa, to monitor Kim Jong Un nuke tests, the Nikkei media outlet reported based on talks with a senior Japan Self Defense Forces official.

The aircraft was supposed to arrive at its Forward Operating Base last month but it was forced to perform an emergency landing at Sultan Iskandar Muda airport in Banda Aceh, Indonesia, on its way to Japan, on Mar. 24, following an engine failure.

The two WC-135 Constant Phoenix aircraft in service today (out of 10 examples operated since the 1960s) are Boeing C-135 transport and support planes derivative belonging to the 45th Reconnaissance Squadron from Offutt Air Force Base, with mission crews staffed by Detachment 1 from the Air Force Technical Applications Center.

The Constant Phoneix, known as the “sniffer” or “weather bird” by its crews, can carry up to 33 personnel.

Constant Phoenix flies in direct support of the U.S. Atomic Energy Detection System, a global network of nuclear detection sensors that monitor underground, underwater, space-based or atmospheric events. As the sole agency in the Department of Defense tasked with this mission, AFTAC’s role in nuclear event detection is critical to senior decision makers in the U.S. government, says the Air Force.

“Our aircraft is equipped with external flow devices that allow us to collect airborne particulate on filter paper and a compressor system for whole air samples,” said Tech. Sgt. Matthew Wilkens, a 9S100 and airborne operations section chief in a recent release. “The particulate samples are collected using a device that works like an old Wurlitzer jukebox. An arm grabs the paper from its slot and moves it to the exterior of the fuselage. After exposure, it is returned to the filter magazine where a new paper is selected for use. It’s a simple, yet very effective, concept.”

Effluent gasses are gathered by two scoops on the sides of the fuselage, which in turn trap fallout particles on filters. The mission crews have the ability to analyze the fallout residue in real-time, helping to confirm the presence of nuclear fallout and possibly determine the characteristics of the warhead involved.

This is not the first time the aircraft is moved close to the Korean peninsula in anticipation of Kim Jong Un rocket launches; moreover, the WC-135 has already been deployed to Japan back in 2011, when it was used to track radioactive activity around Fukushima following, a type of mission the aircraft had already flown in 1986 following the Chernobyl nuclear plant disaster in the Soviet Union.

The aircraft 62-3582 has recently completed a “tour” in Europe, arriving on Feb. 17, 2017 and conducting several missions both in the Barents Sea area and in the Mediterranean Sea until mid March. The pretty rare deployment to RAF Mildenhall, UK, amid raising concern for an alleged spike in Iodine levels around Norway, fueled speculations that the U.S. had sent the detection aircraft to investigate the reasons behind the radioactive levels detected in northern Europe at the beginning of January.

However, the “nuke hunter” plane was on a “pre-planned rotational deployment scheduled in advance,” according to the Air Force spokeswoman Erika Yepsen.

This time, with a U.S. aircraft carrier strike group heading to the Korean Peninsula, there is no doubt as to the aim of the deployment of the “sniffer” to Japan.

where's south korea? they are the one that will suffer the most, but we don't hear anything from them

I like how they call those WC-135 "nuclear sniffers" lol. I suppose it's not that difficult to gauge a nuclear blast just by seismic detection from ground platforms that measure earthquakes and other types of geological disturbances and shifts in the earth in a particular region. Must be a very interesting airborne lab to perform such a risky and dangerous test.

It's also one thing to fly over nuclear disaster locations to collect samples as a friendly/testing mission and another to fly close enough over a hostile environment that might have the defensive capability to shoot down an aircraft like that. We know the fat kid has the balls to do that. It will be very interesting to find out what the flight path of these aircraft would be and if they violate any DPRK airspace to get close enough to these NK test sites to sniff any radiation?

The Viets said US will be helping them to get nukes , the Yankees will be treating VN like a rogue state if she pursues nukes.
