Newtalk新聞 台中市謝姓男子和許姓妻子共同經營一家畫廊，卻進口北韓官方藝術品生產中心「萬壽臺創作社」的2幅畫，分別以人民幣2000元、1300元購入，北韓因核武遭聯合國制裁，法務部也公告民眾不得對萬壽社提供財務，檢方偵結依資恐防制法起訴2人。 檢方指出，謝男與許女在台中市北屯區經營畫廊多年，2020年前後藉由中國業者購入北韓萬壽臺創作社所畫的「荷花」、「百鳥之王孔雀」畫作，分別花費人民幣1300元、2000元（合計約1.6萬元台幣）。 檢方指出，北韓於2006年10月14日因違反聯合國安全理事會不擴散核武器第1718號決議，遭聯合國安理會一連串制裁，包含所有會員國均應禁止提供有助於北韓違禁計畫、活動，或有助於規避制裁的金融服務。檢方查出，萬壽臺創作社是北韓國家成立之藝術品生產中心，依上級指令從事藝術品生產，除政治宣傳目的外，也賺取外匯，因此萬壽社於2017年8月5日遭聯合國安理會決議列為受制裁法人。 台中地檢署強調，務部於2018年公告法務部防制洗錢與打擊資恐專區，告知民眾不得直接或間接對「萬壽臺」提供財物或財產上利益，已屬資恐防制法第5條第1項第1款所示指定制裁之法人。 檢方偵結，謝男、許女為賺取自身利益，竟不顧我國國際形象恐因和北韓違法貿易而嚴重受損，甚至遭到聯合國及國際社會制裁的風險，依資恐防制法，間接為指定制裁之法人提供財物罪嫌起訴2人，未扣案「百鳥之王孔雀」、「荷花」2幅畫作，認定是犯罪所生之物，向法院宣告沒收。延伸閱讀：女住客澡洗到一半男員工竟闖入! 台中五星飯店傳烏龍 客控酒店態度消極飲料喝完驚現「活體蛞蝓」！八曜和茶公布調查結果台北地院遭潑糞！不滿多起官司敗訴 抗議男提2桶排泄物狂撒北韓自走砲向南部署 韓媒：鏡頭可清楚拍攝南韓星巴克裏赫見北韓大砲正面對! 傳李強密會金與正 要求軍事施壓南韓

Newtalk新聞 北韓日前在朝鮮半島東部海域（日本海）試射兩款潛射戰略巡航飛彈，為近三年來首次進行水下發射試驗。官媒《朝中社》（KCNA）宣稱目的在檢驗水下作戰系統戰備狀態、提升海軍戰略任務能力，並展示核嚇阻力的可靠性。南韓軍方監測及官媒發布照片，有垂直發射及魚雷管發射、號稱「戰術核攻擊潛艦」金君玉英雄艦（舷號841）首次公開武器試射兩大亮點。 南韓聯合參謀本部表示，軍方從發射前到巡航及終端階段全程追蹤，確認兩款飛彈分別由垂直發射管與魚雷管射出，但未立即公布具體潛艦型號，也未公開飛距、高度、軌跡或落點細節。一般認為可能是「火箭矢-3-31（Pulhwasal-3-31）」與「箭矢- 2」（Hwasal-2/Arrow-2）的組合，前者曾在2024年由試驗艦「8.24英雄艦」試射，據傳飛行約兩小時，命中日本海島嶼目標，外界估計射程可達約2,000公里，足以覆蓋韓半島全境與駐日美軍基地，並可搭載「火山-31」戰術核彈頭，但未確認是否為潛射；後者為北韓現役「鴨綠級」（Amnok- class）護衛艦艦載武器，2023年確認在該級艦艦艉有8聯裝發射裝置，射程據傳超過2,000公里，並可攜帶核彈頭。 專家分析官媒公布的潛艦與發射畫面後，認為本次進行潛射平台的是2023年9月下水，被領導人金正恩稱為「核心水下進攻手段」的「金君玉英雄艦」。金君玉英雄艦船級屬蘇聯早期633型潛艦（北約代號：Romeo Class「羅密歐級」），排水量3,000噸，配備10具垂直發射管，據傳可攜帶、發射10枚北韓潛射飛彈「北極星-3」，動力型式未能確認為核動力或常規動力。 南韓軍方先前曾指出，金君玉英雄號處於無法正常運作的狀態。但此次試射顯示該艦正進行作戰系統測試，技術問題可能已獲解決，下一步或將進行潛射彈道飛彈試射，並邁向部署。專家分析，垂直發射有助延長射程；傾斜或魚雷管發射則可降低飛行高度、增加攔截難度，具戰術意義；但水下長時間巡邏及完整作戰能力仍待驗證。 自今年7月6日，中國宣稱以核動力潛艦向太平洋試射潛射彈道飛彈（外界多推測為巨浪-2（JL-2）或巨浪-3（JL-3），搭載模擬彈頭，射程約8000公里）後，法、北韓相繼進行潛射試驗，三國均明確強調「核威懾」意涵。中國數十年來首次將SLBM打入國際公海，驗證海基二次打擊能力。法國於10月6日由凱旋級核潛艦（Classe Le Triomphant）「警戒號」（Le Vigilant S618）試射最新M51.3彈道飛彈（無彈頭），總統馬克龍及軍方均稱為驗證並強化核嚇阻力量的可信度與作戰可靠性。加上此次北韓試射，三者雖系統類型（彈道／巡航）與技術成熟度不同，但均將潛射平台定位為核嚇阻體系的關鍵組成，凸顯海基核力量在當前戰略競爭中的重要性。延伸閱讀：可能搶得日本軍品出售「第一」 菲想買中短程防空與海上監視系統強化南海防衛羅斯福「借住」橫須賀！前往中東前 先在日本揮「利劍」楊宏基觀點》不只要錢還要人！這評估報告戳破明擺著卻沒人承認的現實北京遭冷落？ 與俄羅斯陸橋不到2年就完工 中國與北韓新大橋延宕12年終啟用美掃蕩北韓遠端IT詐騙網絡 德州搜逾40住宅、14人遭起訴含10中國人
