北韩从其东海岸试射了又一枚短答7b导弹,并且威胁说,如果联合国就其最近的核试验进行制裁,北韩就会报复。

韩国联合通讯社引用韩国官员的话说,北韩发射了一枚“新型”地对空导弹,这是北韩自星期一核试验以来发射的第六枚短程导弹。

北韩官方通讯社星期五警告说,如果联合国安理会“进一步挑衅”,北韩将采取进一步的“自卫措施”。

联合国安理会正在磋商对平壤可能从事的新制裁。这可能包括扩大对北韩的武器禁运,也在金融和银行管理方面施加限制。

North Korea test-fired another short-range missile off its east coast Friday, and threatened to take retaliatory action if the United Nations imposes sanctions for its latest nuclear test.

South Korea’s Yonhap news agency quotes a South Korean official as saying the North launched a “new type” of land-to-air missile from its Musudan-ni launch site. It was the sixth short-range missile North Korea has fired since its nuclear test Monday.

North Korea’s state-run news agency warned Friday of what it called “further self-defense measures” if there is, in its words, “further provocation” by the U.N. Security Council.

The Council is considering possible new sanctions against Pyongyang. These could include expanding an arms embargo, and placing restrictions on financial and banking regulations.
