Japan Readies Defenses as North Korea Warns of Nuclear War

On Tuesday, Japan joined South Korea and the US in preparing missile defenses.

AEGIS equipped ships were sent out of harbor to protect Japan's coasts from any possible launches.

Patriot missile batteries were deployed at key sites in the country.

Japan will take no chances with the safety of it's people, and states that any launch, by the North, will be considered as hostile.

Adding to their rhetoric, North Korea warned foreigners to leave the South, saying nuclear war was about to occur.

However, things in North Korea are calm, and the military does not seem to be preparing for active war.
