Hawaii will resume sirens this week that will warn of a nuclear attack as tensions with North Korea continue to rise. The air-raid sirens will begin Dec. 1, and will continue each month as part of a “newly-activated Attack Warning Tone, intended to warn Hawaii residents of an impending nuclear missile attack,” the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency said in a press release Monday.

The latest missile from the North “did not pose a threat to North America, our territories or our allies,” Pentagon spokesman Col. Robert Manning III told Fox News on Tuesday. The last time state residents heard the warning siren test was during the Cold War, the Star-Advertiser reported, citing an emergency management official.
