朝鮮威脅將擊落來自韓國的宣傳氣球
North Korea's military is threatening to shoot down balloons that South Korean activists plan to send over the heavily militarized border carrying 10,000 DVDs of the Hollywood film The Interview.
Activists say they plan to launch copies of the film - a comedy about a fictional CIA plot to assassinate North Korean leader Kim Jon Un, along with 500,000 propaganda leaflets across the de-militarized zone on or around March 26.
Pyongyang's official Korean Central News Agency called the planned launch a "de facto declaration of war."
The South's military said it would retaliate if North Korea opens fire on the South's territory.
South Korean residents living near the border have complained the activists are putting local residents lives at risk by making them potential targets.朝鮮軍方威脅要擊落韓國活動人士計劃放飛穿越戒備森嚴的南北交界處的氣球。氣球將運送1萬張好萊塢電影《採訪》的DVD盤。
《採訪》是一部虛構美國中情局策劃刺殺朝鮮領導人金正恩的好萊塢喜劇片。韓國活動人士說，他們計劃3月26號放氣球，把這部電影的DVD和50萬張傳單經過非軍事區上空送到朝鮮。
朝鮮官方的朝鮮中央通訊社稱這個放飛氣球計劃等同於“事實上的宣戰”。
韓國軍方說，如果朝鮮超韓國境內開火，就將予以回擊。
非軍事區韓國一側的居民抱怨說，這些活動人士的作爲給當地居民的生命帶來危險，可能使他們成爲朝鮮攻擊的目標。
