"Threatening Fax to Ministry of Foreign Affairs: 'Will Bomb Media Outlets and Japanese Schools'"

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs received a threatening fax claiming to bomb media outlets and the Seoul Japanese School, and the police are investigating.

According to the police on the 6th, a report was received that such a threatening fax arrived at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at around 3:17 a.m. that day.

The fax, written in Japanese and Korean, reportedly contained a message stating that from 3:30 p.m. on the day until 8:10 p.m. on the 9th, bombs would be dropped by drones on various media outlets, including broadcasting companies, and the Japanese school to cause explosions.

The sender of the fax identified himself as a Japanese lawyer.

The police disseminated this information to police stations nationwide, and local stations have notified media outlets and are patrolling the areas.

At the end of last year, the police received multiple reports of threatening faxes claiming to carry out terrorist acts against prosecutors, police, and media outlets. At that time, the sender also introduced himself as a Japanese lawyer, and the format and content of the faxes were similar.

The police are investigating the possibility that the recent series of 'threatening faxes' are the work of the same perpetrator responsible for a series of threatening emails sent from Japan to Korea in August of last year.
