“Today, the Ramstein Air Base Command Post was notified via an alert notification system of a real-world missile launch in the European theater,” the base said in a statement posted to Facebook. “The Command Post followed proper procedure and provided timely and accurate notifications to personnel in the Kaiserslautern Military Community.”

But the launch was “then assessed to be part of a training exercise and not a threat to the KMC area,” the base added, noting that “the situation is all clear.”

“We’d like to thank our Command Post members for their quick response to ensure our people stay informed so they can take the proper safety precautions,” its statement concluded.

While there was uncertainty about the nature of the launch, sirens at the base blared the warning “aerial attack, aerial attack, seek cover, seek cover,” Stars and Stripes reports.

A similar false alarm in Hawaii made headlines in 2018 when officials mistakenly issued an alert to the public that a missile was heading toward the islands before correcting the error 38 minutes later.
