Col. Martyn Crighton, a public affairs officer for the 2nd Infantry Division. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The operator immediately identified the mistake and alerted all units at the base of the false alarm, which did not interfere with any operations, Crighton said in an email Saturday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The incident came a day before Japanese broadcaster NHK caused panic by mistakenly sending a news alert saying North Korea fired a missile over Japan that landed in the sea off the country\u2019s northeastern island of Hokkaido early Friday. The broadcaster apologized, saying the alert was for media training purposes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">North Korea has been dialing up pressure on Washington ahead of an end-of-year deadline issued by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/your-military\/2019\/12\/22\/kim-jong-un-holds-party-meeting-to-bolster-north-korean-military\/\" target=\"_blank\">leader Kim Jong Un <\/a>for the Trump administration to offer mutually acceptable terms for a nuclear deal. There are concerns that Pyongyang could do something provocative if Washington doesn\u2019t back down and relieve sanctions imposed on the North\u2019s broken economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside

Korea-set deadline on nuclear talks<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">A senior U.S. diplomat said Monday that Washington won\u2019t accept a year-end deadline set by North Korea to make concessions in stalled nuclear talks and urged Pyongyang to return to a negotiating table immediately.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The North fired two missiles over Japan during a provocative run in weapons tests in 2017, which also included three flight tests of developmental intercontinental ballistic missiles that demonstrated potential capabilities to reach the U.S. mainland. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tensions eased after Kim initiated diplomacy with Washington and Seoul in 2018 while looking to leverage his nukes for economic and security benefits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But negotiations have faltered since a February summit between Kim and President Donald Trump broke down after the U.S. side rejected North Korean demands for broad sanctions relief in exchange for a partial surrender of its nuclear capabilities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a statement issued earlier this month, North Korean senior diplomat Ri Thae Song asserted that the Trump administration was running out of time to salvage faltering nuclear negotiations, and said it\u2019s entirely up to the United States to choose what \u201cChristmas gift\u201d it gets from the North. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The North also in recent weeks said it conducted two \u201ccrucial\u201d tests at a long-range rocket facility it said would strengthen its nuclear deterrent, prompting speculation that it\u2019s developing a new ICBM or preparing a satellite launch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A U.S. military base in South Korea accidentally blared an alert siren instead of a bugle call, causing a
