KOS- Partial evacuation possibly underway in North Korean capital [View all]

Hmmmm. Words are escaping me right now.

The report comes originally from the Korean Herald and the article is here http://www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20170414000689

Partial evacuation possibly underway in North Korean capital

Tensions in North Korea rarely creep to less than Very High. As a result, many who live there have shrugged off the current set of dueling threats. But now those threats seem to have been taken seriously enough to force a quarter of the capitol out of their homes. This is the eve of a national holiday that is often marked by some demonstration of new military technology in North Korea. However, the evacuation order would certainly suggest that Day of the Sun celebrations will be, at least, muted. Both the weather, and the mood, in the city are cloudy and fearful.


What do you all think of this? Is this being over sensationalized?
