North Korea deploys self-propelled artillery to the south; Korean media: Lenses can clearly film ZH北韓自走砲向南部署 韓媒:鏡頭可清楚拍攝
Newtalk新聞 韓國媒體近日首度拍攝到北韓在南北韓邊境地區部署疑似 122 毫米口徑自走砲。照片顯示,相關武器出現在北韓黃海道開豐郡的海岸邊境地帶,附近還有朝鮮人民軍士兵升降紅色旗幟,或進行軍事訓練,引發外界關注。 據《韓聯社》今(26)日報導,25 日上午在京畿道金浦市愛妓峰瞭望台拍攝的照片顯示,疑似自走砲的武器部署在北韓海岸附近。愛妓峰瞭望台距離北韓僅約 1.5 公里,從此處可直接觀察北韓邊境活動,包括鋪設戰術道路、架設鐵絲網等工程。 報導指出,這是近期首次透過韓國媒體的觀測設備,拍攝到北韓在邊境地區部署自走砲的畫面。北韓的 122 毫米自走砲是前線部隊的重要砲兵裝備之一,射程約為 15 至 24 公里,具備打擊邊境周邊目標的能力。 一般而言,砲兵裝備會利用山體背面等地形進行隱蔽,以降低遭敵方偵察及攻擊的風險。然而,此次疑似自走砲部署的位置,近到連韓國媒體使用長焦鏡頭都能清楚拍攝,情況相當罕見。 對此,有觀點認為,北韓刻意在如此接近韓國觀測據點的位置部署自走砲,可能具有軍事示威意味。延伸閱讀:楊宏基觀點》不是「超譯」是「畫錯重點」 「第一天就投入」簡譯不負責又危險金正恩驚傳死訊!北韓40官網突癱瘓 官媒急曬照破除腦溢血死亡謠言!金正恩無預警造訪中國丹東「敦促北京加速兌現承諾」北韓入侵、傘兵空降!電玩《決勝時刻》新作熱賣 南韓玩家玩到哭台61線施工遇收假潮 省道12路段恐塞車
