The Ministry of the Interior and Safety announced on June 5 that a moment of silence siren will sound nationwide for one minute starting at 10 a.m. on June 6, coinciding with the 71st Memorial Day ceremony.
This siren is intended to honor the noble patriotism of those who sacrificed their lives for the nation and its people. It will sound simultaneously across the country to encourage all citizens to participate in the moment of silence from their respective locations.
The ministry is providing advance notice to ensure that citizens are not startled by the siren.
Jang Han, the Director of Civil Defense, stated, "The siren that will sound on this day is not an air raid warning, so we ask the public not to be alarmed. When the siren sounds, please pause your activities and join in the moment of silence with a solemn heart for one minute."
