Sirens blare from mobile phones in test of national emergency alert systemSiren sounds have blared from mobile phones across the country in a test of the national emergency alert system.
At around 3pm on Sunday, mobiles connected to 4G and 5G networks vibrated and sounded for about 10 seconds in the second test of the system – after the first in 2023.
Sporting events reportedly had to adjust for the alert, with England’s third ODI cricket match against South Africa scheduled to pause and the kick-off for the Super League derby between Hull KR and Hull FC pushed back.
