In this Tuesday, Aug. 1, 2017, photo, Eiko Miyauchi speaks to The Associated Press as she passes by Verny Park, located across from the Yokosuka U.S. Naval Base in Yokosuka, south of Tokyo. Residents of Yokosuka city, home to the major U.S. Naval Base, share their thoughts on North Korea and its recent intercontinental ballistic missile launches. Miyauchi, 83, endured U.S. firebombings during World War II. As a child, she was evacuated from the coast and took shelter in an underground bunker as bombs rained down. “I lived through the war, and I can’t imagine anything being as scary as that one,” she said.
