Hawaii residents and visitors received shocking mobile push alerts Saturday morning warning of an approaching missile and instructing people to seek shelter, but Hawaii’s Emergency Management Agency quickly stated the message was sent in error.

“BALLISTIC MISSILE THREAT INBOUND TO HAWAII,” the message read. “SEEK IMMEDIATE SHELTER. THIS IS NOT A DRILL.”

Shortly after, the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency informed Twitter followers there was no missile threat to Hawaii.
