US troops get ‘false order’ to leave South Korea

‘The US military has denied ordering American troops and their families in South Korea to evacuate the country, after a number of them reported receiving mysterious text messages that told them to do so.
“Anyone receiving this false message should not click any links or open any attachments included in the correspondence,” US Forces Korea said in a statement on Friday.
US Forces Korea spokesman Colonel Chad Carroll said in an interview with Stars and Stripes that there was no way to find out the source of the texts.
“Incidents were ‘self-reported,’ and many people claimed the message disappeared as soon as they unlocked their phone,” Caroll said.
The official noted that none of the roughly 28,500 US troops stationed on the Korean Peninsula acting on the messages and departing South Korea.’
