North Korea: Foreigners should evacuate South Korea

North Korea has warned foreigners in South Korea to take evacuation measures in case of war.

This comes amid growing concern that the North may be about to launch a missile test.
Pyongyang has been making bellicose threats against South Korea, Japan and US bases in the region.
Japan has deployed defensive anti-missile batteries at three locations in Tokyo, to protect the capital's 30 million residents.
US-made Patriot anti-missile systems have been deployed at the defence ministry and at two other military bases.
"The government is making utmost efforts to protect our people's lives and ensure their safety," Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said.
"As North Korea keeps making provocative comments, Japan, co-operating with relevant countries, will do what we have to do," he added.
