Japan prepares for any eventuality over Korea tensions
Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan said Tuesday he has ordered his ministers to prepare for any eventuality after North Korea fired artillery shells on to a South Korean island.
"I ordered (ministers) to make preparations so that we can react firmly, should any unexpected event occur," Kan told reporters after an emergency meeting of cabinet members and senior officials at his official residence. "I ordered them to do their utmost to gather information," he said. (AFP)
