They also place great value on not getting caught in a North Korean missile strike.Doncic, a native Slovenian, is in Okinawa, Japan, for the 2023 FIBA World Cup along with the rest of the Slovenian national basketball team. But, the Slovenian team, as well as the other international teams and residents in Okinawa, had their sleep interrupted at 4:00 a.m.
Missiles are displayed during a military parade to mark 100 years since the birth of the country’s founder Kim Il-Sung in Pyongyang on April 15, 2012. “Oh yeah, the alarm was crazy,” Doncic told the assembled media. “I mean, I just saw ‘Missiles, it’s coming. Missile, it’s coming.’ So I was a little scared.”
Luka Doncic #77 of Slovenia drives to the basket during the international basketball game between Japan and Slovenia at Ariake Arena on August 19, 2023, in Tokyo, Japan. FIBA released a statement about the 13-minute-long alert. As it turns out, the alert was in response to a North Korean satellite launch.
“Due to the launch of a satellite by North Korea, the Japanese Government sent two alarms via the ‘J-Alert system’ on all cell phones in Okinawa early this morning,” FIBA’s statement read. “The first was sent at 3:54 am and the second at 4:07 am, clearing the alarm.” Doncic and the Slovenian team begin their quest for a FIBA championship on August 26. Thankfully for them, the tournament will be over before North Korea’s next expected missile launch in October.
