North Korea has issued an air raid alert and ordered its military to take immediate actions.

The North’s state-run media carried the alert at around 9:30 am on Thursday.

South Korean military authorities confirmed the alert is part of North Korea’s military drill.

A high-ranking official at the Joint Chiefs of Staff said the drill may be in response to the U.S.’ B-52 bomber flights on the Korean Peninsula.

He added it is similar to civil defense air raid drills conducted by South Korea.
