Assessing a North Korean nuclear strike as "very likely" the California authorities issued a document with instructions for a "catastrophic" attack, the Independent said.

Considering the threat from the North Korean authorities, the Joint Regional Intelligence Center of Los Angeles released a 16-page document called "Expectations in the Case of a Nuclear Attack," dated August 16, reports the Independent.

Most of the information included in this document is devoted to the effects of a nuclear explosion, including the effects of radiation and electromagnetic pulse.

In addition, the document attempts to alert the authorities to what they may face in the event of an attack.

Thus, citizens will have to be evacuated, but "with a limited understanding of the radiation risks, they will be high in anxiety and their behavior may not be in compliance with expectations."

Tensions around North Korea's nuclear and ballistic programs are increasing. Washington and Pyongyang continue to trade mutual threats.

On Saturday, US strategic bombers flew over airspace near North Korea in a show of force, escalating the situation further.
