TOKYO—People huddled into an amusement park basement and a subway station in Japan’s capital and others ducked and covered their heads at a community centre Monday during a drill based on the scenario of an incoming North Korean missile. Loudspeakers in Tokyo’s first such drill warned that the activities involved a scenario of a missile attack and urged people to shelter indoors or go underground. Those who are already indoors, please stay there,” an announcement at the Tokyo Dome amusement park said. A security guard ran across the complex, shouting “A missile was launched!”The amusement park operators immediately stopped the rides. More than 20 evacuation drills have been conducted around Japan since last year amid threats from North Korea, but Monday’s activity was the first missile evacuation drill in Tokyo.
