YONAGUNI, Okinawa -- Yonaguni Island, Japan's westernmost island, held its first evacuation drill on Wednesday over possible ballistic missile strikes.
Residents are concerned that the island could become embroiled in a conflict between China and Taiwan, so the town participated in a drill organized by the central and Okinawa prefectural governments to strengthen evacuation arrangements for inhabitants of the Nansei Islands, including Yonaguni.
