WTF? Pyongyang evacuation? Whats going on?

Just now came across this press release from Pravda (a long standing Russian newspaper) Kim Jong Un has ordered an evacuation of 25% of the population, approx. 600.0000 people who cannot escape to bunkers. Apparently this because of the US subs near their waters with nuclear capability. Is this merely propaganda? kindly enlighten me.

The evacuation was about a week ago. But you have to take in the context that Trump has said he is prepared to launch a pre-emptive strike if North Korea attempts a nuclear test. North Korea likely will conduct such a test if they're at all able to, as the earlier missile test emphasized.

Trump himself has indicated he's willing to order such a pre-emptive strike on instinct while admiring the beauty of a slice of cake, damn the consequences. Under such circumstances, conducting evacuation or evacuation drills is the most sensible thing North Korea could do. It bears remembering that there's a high risk of escalation, and if bombs drop on North Korea, those won't be the last bombs dropping before the dust has settled.
