The Department of civil defence of the island, later made an official statement that the error occurred due to «human factor».
«The alarm went off accidentally and was not related to a real threat. We have been working with radio stations to make sure this never happens again,» — said the adviser to the national security of GUAM George Charfauros.
Charfauros urged the island’s residents and tourists to keep calm, despite unconfirmed reports about the nuclear threat in the media.
