Upset by being heckled? Kim Yo-jong suddenly inspects the inter-Korean border with military and political top brass, lashes out at Seoul... 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
