ZH不爽被嗆聲？金與正突與軍政高層視察南北韓邊界更怒噴首爾... Newtalk新聞上月，有3名韓國軍人在南北韓非軍事區（DMZ）遭地雷炸傷。而經韓國軍方調查後，認定地雷由北韓軍方埋設，要求平壤道歉並移除地雷，惟北韓則否認相關指控。北韓最高領導人金正恩胞妹金與正本月19日更宣布，要恢復對韓國進行擴音器廣播。這讓韓國國防部強硬反擊，而金與正今（21）日與北韓眾軍政高層視察南北韓邊界，更以「流氓」形容韓國，具有強烈挑釁意味。北韓官媒《朝中社》於本月19日刊登朝鮮勞動黨中央委員會部長金與正的談話。金與正表示，自今年8月以來，韓國軍方持續透過擴音器進行挑釁性警告廣播，並「毫無根據」地指控北韓人員越界，甚至使用大口徑機槍進行警告射擊，威脅朝鮮人民軍士兵的人身安全。金與正指出，自8月1日至10月17日，韓軍已進行多達2,870次擴音器警告廣播，以及201次警告射擊。金與正表示，為了因應當前局勢，朝鮮人民軍正研擬先發制人且具有壓制性的措施，包括為防範可能發生的突發情況，在南北韓軍事分界線上增派部署戰術打擊武器，以及恢復對韓國進行擴音器廣播等方案。同時，還考慮其他必要且適當的措施。對於金與正發言，韓國國防部昨日強烈反擊，並對其發言表達嚴重關切。同時，韓國國防部也警告平讓當局，倘若以韓軍正當措施為藉口，進一步發動挑釁，那麼韓軍必將堅決回應。而《朝中社》今日就刊登金與正與北韓國防省顧問朴正天（音譯）元帥等眾北韓軍政高層視察南北韓邊界要塞化工程現場。金與正也在當場以流氓形容韓國嗆聲，表示要讓韓方清楚知道，朝鮮人民軍新部署的火力部隊已經進入射擊陣地，而金正恩已下達命令，要求在行使領土主權時寸土不讓，並將與敵對國家之間的邊境線建設成最永久、最穩固的界線。延伸閱讀：網傳招募中國人入伍海報韓國國防部怒斥假消息並報警北韓稱將恢復對韓國「擴音廣播」！首爾強硬警告：將堅決懲罰金智媛新劇爆恐怖情節！「醫師在病患肝臟刻字」是真的真實案件曝光台東渡假村農路弊案持續擴大前縣長吳俊立遭檢聲押禁見蘇巧純當CEO獲投資4500萬審計部鬆口要查了 KR
