Japan railways to halt trains upon alert over N. Korean missile

Photo taken Feb. 7, 2016 shows a computer screen showing a message alerting the Japanese public of an apparent missile launch by North Korea, issued by the Japanese government's satellite-based J-Alert system. Roughly 90 percent of Japan's major train operators are prepared to halt services upon receiving a government alert over an imminent threat from a ballistic missile from North Korea, a Kyodo News tally showed May 9, 2017. This means such an alert could freeze the country's public transportation systems in an instant. (Kyodo) ==Kyodo
