Well, maybe not quite. But totally true according to Zerohedge. Since it is Zerohedge, take it with a grain of salt, but apparently an algorithm misinterpreted a report about a new missile showing up in the NK military parade.
Just imagine what might have happened if someone saw the original headline and tweeted Trump "OMG NK just launched a missile what are U gonna DO!!!!!"
Chinese Media Almost Sets Off Military Action With Erroneous North Korea Headline
As expected - and feared - during the annual "Day of the Sun" celebration parade (celebrating the birth of the nation's founder), Bloomberg blasted a headline that Chinese news agency Xinhua reported that North Korea has fired a projectile.On its website, Bloomberg immediately picked up the story, and ran with "North Korea Fires Projectile Media, Says Xinhua" (at a url which still reads: "https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-04-15/north-korea-fires-projectile-media-says-xinhua")
- NORTH KOREA FIRES PROJECTILE, MEDIA SAYS: XINHUA
However, it appears that the headline scanning algos made a collosal error, and that Xinhua interpreted events quite incorrectly as it was, as CBC and Reuters reports, the appearance of a new submarine-launched missile at the parade for the first time:
North Korea displayed its submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBM) for the first time on Saturday ahead of a massive military parade in the capital, Pyongyang.
