North Korea is warning tourists in the South to clear out, lest they be embroiled in “thermonuclear war”.  Meanwhile, the North hasn’t appeared to have done a thing to put its army on a war footing.

The spokeswoman for South Korea’s Presidential “Blue House” says Seoul is bustling as usual. 

"We understand that not only South Koreans, but also foreigners residing here remain unfazed as they have great trust and confidence in our military and the Republic of Korea," said Kim Haing.

None of the embassies in Seoul appeared to have issued any directives to their nationals and airlines reported no changes in their schedules. Schools catering to foreign pupils worked without interruption.

Meanwhile, A South Korean military source says they’ve tracked the missiles that Pyongyang moved to the eastern coast.  At least one could be as fired as earlier as Wednesday.
