朝鮮稱成功試射了地對海巡航火箭
North Korea successfully tested a new "ground-to-sea cruise rocket" that is capable of striking enemy battleships staging a military attack, the country's KCNA news agency said Friday.
Pyongyang launched several land-to-sea missiles early Thursday, under the supervision of leader Kim Jong Un, KCNA said. The missiles "accurately detected and hit the floating targets on the East Sea of Korea," it reported.
The missile test was North Korea's fourth in the span of a month, and comes after the United Nations Security Council imposed new sanctions on Kim's government last week. The three previous tests were of ballistic missiles, with North Korea appearing determined to develop a missile capable of carrying a nuclear weapon and reaching the U.S. mainland.
U.S. State Department spokesperson Heather Nauert said Thursday the resumption of talks with North Korea on the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula is made more difficult by Pyongyang's increasingly frequent missile tests. "We hope, at some point, the talks could resume, but we are nowhere near that point," Nauert said.
The latest missile firing came just one day after South Korea suspended the deployment of the U.S. Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) anti-missile system. Nauert said the suspension of THAAD deployment is "part of the conversations" that Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Defense Secretary Jim Mattis had with President Donald Trump at an Oval Office meeting on Thursday. "This is a conversation that's taken place at the highest level. We are committed to our South Korean ally. That commitment remains ironclad. We are aware, certainly, of the situation and the suspension of additional launchers," Nauert said.
Seoul said it would delay the installation of remaining components of THAAD anti-missile system until it completes an assessment of the system's environmental impact.朝中社星期五報道說，朝鮮成功地試射了一枚新的“地對海巡航火箭”，可以打擊發動軍事襲擊的敵方戰艦。
朝中社說，星期四早上，在金正恩領袖的監督下，平壤發射了幾枚地對艦導彈。報道說，這些導彈“準確地發現並擊中了朝鮮東海的浮動目標。”
這次導彈試射是朝鮮一個月中的第四次。上星期，聯合國安理會剛剛對金正恩政權實施了新的制裁。前三次都是彈道導彈試射，朝鮮看似決心要發展能夠攜帶核武器並能打到美國本土的導彈。
美國國務院發言人諾爾特星期四說，由於平壤日益頻繁的導彈測試，與朝鮮就朝鮮半島無核化問題恢復談判變得更加困難。諾爾特說：“我們希望會談將在某一時間恢復，但是我們遠沒有到達那一步。”
最新導彈發射的一天前，韓國決定暫停部署美國薩德反導彈系統。諾爾特說，暫停部署薩德是蒂勒森國務卿、馬蒂斯國防部長與川普總統星期四在橢圓形辦公室開會時“談話的一部分”。她說：“這是一次最高級別的談話。我們忠實於我們的韓國盟友。這個忠誠依然堅不可摧。我們當然瞭解當前的局勢以及更多發射器的部署已經暫停。”
韓國說，將推遲部署薩德反導彈系統的餘下工程，直到完成對該系統環境影響的評估。
