朝鮮再次發(fā)出戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)威脅

朝鮮敦促外國(guó)人離開(kāi)韓國(guó)，躲避可能發(fā)生的軍事沖突，這是在朝鮮半島發(fā)出的又一次戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)威脅。

朝鮮官方的通訊社星期二發(fā)表朝鮮亞太和平委員會(huì)的聲明，敦促外國(guó)旅游者和外國(guó)企業(yè)為自身安全起見(jiàn)，要采取撤離首爾和韓國(guó)其他地區(qū)的措施。

朝鮮上星期曾向駐首都平壤的外國(guó)使館發(fā)出類(lèi)似的警告。

與此同時(shí)，朝鮮員工星期二沒(méi)有到朝鮮與韓國(guó)共建的開(kāi)城工業(yè)園區(qū)上班，此前平壤暫停在園區(qū)的運(yùn)作，而這一園區(qū)是雙方之間最后一個(gè)直接的經(jīng)濟(jì)往來(lái)紐帶。

韓國(guó)總統(tǒng)樸槿惠說(shuō)，平壤星期一決定將5萬(wàn)多名員工撤出開(kāi)城工業(yè)園區(qū)，這將損害朝鮮在世界上的商業(yè)信譽(yù)。

開(kāi)城工業(yè)園區(qū)的韓國(guó)公司每年為朝鮮經(jīng)濟(jì)帶來(lái)大約九千萬(wàn)美元收入。從上星期開(kāi)始，朝鮮方面拒絕讓韓國(guó)人進(jìn)入開(kāi)城工業(yè)園區(qū)。

與此同時(shí)，日本開(kāi)始在東京市區(qū)及周邊地區(qū)部署彈道導(dǎo)彈攔截系統(tǒng)，以在朝鮮發(fā)動(dòng)導(dǎo)彈襲擊時(shí)保護(hù)這座城市。

國(guó)際社會(huì)對(duì)朝鮮實(shí)行新一輪制裁激怒了平壤，朝鮮半島近幾個(gè)星期來(lái)緊張局勢(shì)升級(jí)，平壤威脅要襲擊韓國(guó)、美國(guó)以及亞太地區(qū)的美國(guó)盟友。

North Korea has urged foreigners to leave South Korea to avoid a possible military conflict, issuing yet another threat of war on the Korean peninsula.

The North's official news agency issued a statement from the regime's Asia-Pacific Peace Committee Tuesday, urging foreign tourists and enterprises "to take evacuation measures out of Seoul and South Korea for their own safety.''

North Korea issued a similar warning last week to foreign embassies in the capital of Pyongyang.

Meanwhile, North Korean workers failed to show up for work Tuesday at the Kaesong joint industrial zone with South Korea, after Pyongyang suspended operations at the last direct economic link between the two nations.

South Korean President Park Geun-hye says that Pyongyang's decision Monday to withdraw more than 50,000 workers from the facility will hurt the North's credibility in the world as a place to do business.

Tensions on the Korean peninsula have worsened in recent weeks, as North Korea, angered by a new round of international sanctions, has threatened to attack the South, the United States and U.S. allies in the Asia-Pacific region.
