朝鮮威脅要讓韓國一島嶼陷入火海

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has threatened to attack a South Korean border island in response to Seoul and Washington's ongoing annual military exercises.

Mr. Kim was quoted in state media Tuesday as telling front-line troops to prepare to destroy "enemy targets" on Baengnyeong island, near the site of a deadly North Korean attack in 2010.

It is the latest in a series of dramatic threats by North Korea following last week's U.N. sanctions over its latest nuclear test.

Seoul's Defense Ministry spokesperson Kim Min-seok on Tuesday said there is no evidence of an impending attack or weapons test by North Korea, which he said is just trying to put "psychological pressure" on the South.朝鮮領導人金正恩威脅要攻擊韓國邊界的一個島嶼，作爲對美韓正在進行的年度軍演的迴應。

朝鮮官方媒體星期二報道說，金正恩命令邊防前線部隊做好戰鬥準備，摧毀白翎島上的敵人目標。2010年，朝鮮在白翎島附近發動過致命襲擊。

自從上星期聯合國因核試驗而對朝鮮實施制裁以來，朝鮮發出了一系列嚴厲威脅。這是最新的一次。

韓國國防部發言人金珉奭星期二說，目前還沒有關於朝鮮準備進攻或者進行武器試驗的任何跡象。他說，朝鮮只是試圖對韓國施加心理壓力。
