An unusually busy Wednesday for South Korea, people donned filter masks, and took shelter in underground bunkers while air raid sirens blared. An attack from Pyongyang? No, but this is preparation one. This is certainly not the first one—there have been several since the drills began in 1975, but this drill has been established as the largest. Fighter jets flew over cities, to mimic the feel and realism of a North Korean airstrike. Participation in the drills was not mandatory, but official reports state that 11 million of the 49 million people population of South Korea took shelter.
