朝鮮又發(fā)射一枚短程導(dǎo)彈

South Korea says North Korea fired a short-range missile off its east coast late Tuesday near the North Korean port city of Wonsan.

韓國表示朝鮮于周二晚些時(shí)候在其東部海岸發(fā)射了一枚短程導(dǎo)彈，該地位于港口城市元山附近。

South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said the missile flew about 200 kilometers before hitting a target on land.

韓國參謀長聯(lián)席會議表示，該導(dǎo)彈飛行約200千米后集中陸上目標(biāo)。

The missile launch is the latest reaction by North Korea to new international economic restrictions and to joint U.S.-South Korean military operations.

朝鮮用發(fā)射導(dǎo)彈來回應(yīng)最新的國際經(jīng)濟(jì)制約和美韓聯(lián)合軍事活動。

On March 21, North Korea fired five short-range missiles into the East Sea from the eastern city of Hamhung. The week before, it fired medium-range missiles into the sea.

3月21日，朝鮮從東部城市咸興向東海發(fā)射了5枚短程導(dǎo)彈。在此之前，朝鮮還發(fā)射過中程導(dǎo)彈。

Those launches came after the United Nations placed sanctions on North Korea after its fourth nuclear test, which took place in January. A month later,North Korea tested a long-range rocket.

朝前于1月份進(jìn)行第四次核試驗(yàn)后，聯(lián)合國對朝鮮發(fā)出制裁。此后，朝鮮便發(fā)射導(dǎo)彈作為回應(yīng)。一個(gè)月之后，朝鮮發(fā)射了一個(gè)遠(yuǎn)程火箭。

North Korea has been threatening for weeks to launch nuclear strikes against Washington and Seoul to protest the joint military operations. The country says it believes they are preparing a military invasion.

數(shù)周以來，朝鮮威脅要向華盛頓和首爾發(fā)射核武器，以抗議美韓聯(lián)合軍事活動。朝鮮確信美韓正在準(zhǔn)備對其進(jìn)行軍事制裁。
