N Korea fear spurs test of nuke sirens

- BY KAREN ROCKETT

SIRENS warning of a nuclear attack have been tested in Hawaii for the first time since the end of the Cold War.

They were sounded for a minute on the US Pacific island paradise yesterday as tensions with North Korea’s despot Kim Jongun continue to worsen.

The 385 alarms will be sounded every month but officials will also be checking them.

There were claims they were not loud enough as some people said they were barely audible along Honolulu’s Waikiki Beach.

A war of words has broken out between US President Donald Trump and Jong-un in the wake of North Korea firing a series of ballistic missiles and carrying out its sixth nuclear test.
