双语新闻：朝鲜举行炮兵实弹射击训练 N.Korea Holds Live Artillery Drills, as Tensions Mount

14 March, 2013

朝鲜官方媒体表示，朝鲜最高领导人金正恩现场观看并指导炮兵部队在与韩国敏感的临近海域举行的实弹射击训练。与此同时，平壤不断加剧朝鲜半岛的紧局势。

朝中社报道说，金正恩观看了炮兵部队在黄海的两个岛屿上对“假想敌方阵地”进行的实弹射击。但是星期四的报道并没有说明这次炮击训练的具体时间。

朝鲜警告说要对美国发动核打击。上星期联合国因朝鲜最近的核试验而对其实施制裁后，朝鲜也多次对韩国发出威胁。

目前人们并不认为朝鲜拥有能打到美国的核武器，但是人们担心，朝鲜会攻击有争议的边界地区。这些地区近年来发生过数次冲突，并造成人员伤亡。

North Korean state media says leader Kim Jong Un has overseen a live artillery drill near a sensitive sea border area, as Pyongyang continues to stir up tension on the Korean peninsula.

The Korean Central News Agency says Mr. Kim watched as the artillery units pounded what it called the "imaginary targets of the enemy" on two islands in the Yellow Sea. The Thursday report did not specify when the drill took place.

North Korea has threatened a nuclear war against the United States and made a series of threats against the South after the United Nations last week imposed sanctions for its latest nuclear test.

It is not believed to have the capacity to attack the U.S. with a nuclear weapon. But there is fear it may attack areas near the disputed border, which has been the site of several deadly clashes in recent years.
