First confirmation of North Korean KN-23; Ukraine air defense only intercepted 4 ZH俄羅斯狂轟36彈！首證實北韓KN-23 烏克蘭防空僅攔截到4枚 Newtalk新聞烏克蘭總統澤連斯基（Volodymyr Zelenskyy） 7 日表示，根據初步調查數據，俄羅斯於前一日夜間對烏克蘭境內的關鍵能源設施發動大規模襲擊，並在此次行動中使用了北韓製造的 KN-23 彈道飛彈。澤連斯基在召開損害評估與搶修會議後指出，俄軍整夜共發射 36 枚彈道飛彈以及 172 架無人機，然而烏克蘭防空系統僅成功攔截其中 4 枚飛彈，且所有飛彈目標皆直指基輔及其周邊地區。據軍事媒體《Defence Blog》報導， KN-23 飛彈在北韓被稱為「火星 -11A 」（Hwasong-11A），是一款可透過機動發射車發射的短程固體燃料彈道飛彈。該飛彈具備低空扁平飛行軌跡與飛行中機動能力，比傳統彈道飛彈更難追蹤與攔截，烏克蘭國防部亦曾形容該型武器極難應對。報導稱，俄羅斯自 2024 年初開始對烏射擊 KN-23 飛彈，雖然早期精準度較差，但烏方官員指出，在根據實戰數據進行調整後，其精準度已顯著提升。據了解，北韓自 2023 年起持續向俄羅斯提供彈道飛彈、砲彈及兵力，且在短暫停頓後已恢復飛彈輸送。基輔市區多處建築遭飛彈擊毀。圖：翻攝自Ｘ @NOELreports 《Defence Blog》指出，俄軍本次夜襲造成基輔連通羅夫諾與赫梅利尼茨基核電廠的變電所受損，賓尼沙、日托米爾、哈爾科夫及第聶伯羅彼得羅夫斯克等地的變電所亦遭受破壞。基輔市長克里契科（Vitali … KP

Nov 4 07:04	New Talk Taiwan	Again... 19th time? North Korea fires multiple 'missiles' toward the Sea of Japan; range reportedly under 300 kilometers ZH又來…第19次？北韓朝日本海發射多枚「飛彈」傳射程不及300公里 Newtalk新聞韓國聯合參謀本部馬天（4日）表示，軍方偵測到北韓當天上午在咸鏡南道宣德一帶，向韓半島東部海域（日本海）發射多枚飛彈。此次行動發生在美國中期選舉當日（當地時間3日），也是北韓近期密集試射的最新一波，若確認為彈道飛彈，將是一週內第三次；若計入巡弋航飛彈，則為一週內第四次武力挑釁。聯參指出，韓美從北韓發射準備階段起即嚴密監視，發射後立即展開追蹤。雙方正基於堅固的聯合防衛態勢，密切關注朝方各種動向，並維持能夠壓倒性應對任何挑釁的戒備狀態。軍方此次通報使用「飛彈」而非「彈道飛彈」的表述，研判所射飛行器飛行距離不及300公里，不排除近程彈道飛彈（CRBM）的可能性，正對具體參數進行分析。韓國媒體報導指出，有關方面已將此次行動研判為今年以來的第19次彈道飛彈相關發射。此次發射正值勞動黨中央委員會總務部長金與正發表談話提及「對話選項」之際。金與正稱，維護和平的選項中無疑包括對話，但對北韓而言，這未必能與國家利益相提並論。相關談話被解讀為，平壤為與美方對話留下餘地，但不會只執著於對話一條路。背景方面，北韓上月29日同時發射10多枚600毫米口徑超大型火箭砲（KN-25）；同月31日進行戰術彈道飛彈散布戰鬥部（集束彈頭）戰鬥適用性及威力評估試驗，宣稱標準二型可將11.9至12.9公頃目標區域夷為平地。本月2日又進行戰略巡航飛彈散布戰鬥部威力評估試驗及垂直打擊飛行特性試驗，聲稱中型集束彈頭可將5至6公頃地區化為焦土。專家分析，北韓今年頻繁試射顯示可能接近量產準備階段，不排除未來出口至俄羅斯的可能性。延伸閱讀：堅決反對與中國聯合開發南海油氣菲防長鐵歐多洛：100%支持終止冰櫃變烤箱？！歐洲7-11國超市遭駭客入侵遠端控溫毀壞生鮮食品擾亂民生楊宏基觀點》南韓防長姜信哲靈魂發問：能信美軍？對台灣的啟示是…金將軍不做壞事？幣安遭竊兩千億加密資產北韓遭指黑手金與正怒駁斥日本秋冬之旅推薦！4大「東京後花園」漫步紅葉中 JP KP Same story: 5 more articles · 5 outlets (2nd LD) N.
