韓國:朝鮮劃設禁航區恐進行導彈測試

North Korea has declared a no-sail zone off its eastern coast, raising concerns about another missile test, according to South Korean military officials.

據韓國軍方官員稱，朝鮮在其東海岸劃定了一個禁航區，引發了對朝鮮再次進行導彈測試的擔憂。

The no-sail zone, which covers an area near the eastern coastal city of Wonsan, is effective from November 11 to December 7, the officials said this week. reports say the order was first circulated through North Korea's internal communication channels.

韓國官員本週表示，禁航區在朝鮮東部港口城市元山附近，禁航期爲11月11日至12月7日。有關報道說，這一指令首先是通過朝鮮內部交流通道傳出來的。

North Korea does not appear to have notified International organizations of the Move. In an email to VOA on Monday, the U.N.’s International Maritime Organization said it has not received any notification from North Korea regarding a no sail declaration.

朝鮮似乎並沒有就這一舉動知會國際組織。週一，聯合國國際海事組織在發給美國之音的郵件中說，還沒有收到來自朝鮮的關於宣告禁航的任何通知。

Analysts in Seoul say Pyongyang could launch a mid-range missile or a new type of ballistic missile considering the extent of coverage.

首爾的分析人士稱，考慮到這次禁航區的範圍之廣，平壤可能會發射一枚中程導彈，或是一種新型彈道導彈。

But a South Korean official who asked to remain anonymous told VOA the communist country declared no sail zones multiple times over the past few months, but did not follow with a missile launch.

但是一名不願透露姓名的韓國官員告訴美國之音，過去幾個月間，這個共產主義國家劃設了幾次禁航區，但是並沒有發射導彈。

The North Korean move comes amid news reports that U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon plans to travel to Pyongyang this week. Citing a high-level U.N. source, South Korea’s Yonhap news agency said Ban is likely to meet with Kim Jong Un. But the report has not yet been confirmed by the U.N..

就在朝鮮作出這一舉動的同時，有報道稱聯合國祕書長潘基文計劃本週前往平壤。一位聯合國高級別的消息人士表示，韓國聯合通訊社稱潘基文很可能與金正恩會面。不過這份報道還沒有得到聯合國的證實。
