Japan warns citizens they might have only 10 minutes to prepare for a North Korean missile

TOKYO North Korea might be talking about building missiles that can reach the United States, but Kim Jong Uns regime already has lots of missiles that can reach Japan. So the Japanese government is preparing its citizens to be ready in case a missile comes their way something that could come with less than 10 minutes warning.
The prime ministers office issued new actions to protect yourself guidelines this week, including for the first time instructions on how to respond if a North Korean ballistic missile is heading toward Japan.
Three of the four missiles that North Korea launched March 6 fell within Japans exclusive economic zone in the Sea of Japan, the body of water that separates Japan and the Korean Peninsula. North Korea later said that it was practicing to hit U.S. military bases in Japan.
North Korea showed almost two decades ago that it has all of Japan in its reach. In 1998, North Korea fired a Taepodong-1 missile ostensibly for launching a satellite over Japan and into its economic zone on the Pacific Ocean side.
