Evacuation plan in place for Thais in South Korea
Two C-130 aircraft and an Airbus A310 are on stand by to evacuate Thais living in South Korea within 48 hours should a military conflict erupt, Royal Thai Air Force commander Air Chief Marshal Prajin Juntong said.
North Korea on Friday issued a new threat to attack the US, reacting to a show of force by two US B-2 stealth bombers that dropped inert munitions on to a South Korean training ground not far from the North’s border.
Pyongyang said its targets were the US mainland as well as bases in Hawaii, Guam and other areas of the Pacific as well as South Korea.
There are about 43,000 Thais living in South Korea, according to the Foreign Ministry.
