朝鲜称如韩国活动人士放飞气球散发传单将炮击韩国

朝鲜称如韩国活动人士放飞气球散发传单将炮击韩国 North Korea Threatens Military Attack if Activists in South Korea Launch Balloons with Leaflets

朝鲜威胁说，如果韩国活动人士越境散发反对平壤的传单，朝鲜就将炮击韩国。

朝鲜官方的朝中社星期五说，朝鲜人民军西线指挥部将不事先警告，对韩国西北部坡州市进行一次“无情的打击”。活动人士说，他们下星期一将在坡州市放飞携带传单的气球。

朝中社指责韩国军方直接策划宣传活动，但首尔曾经表示没有参与放飞气球。

朝鲜抨击以往的气球放飞，并扬言要针对这种行动炮击韩国，声称首尔这种蓄意挑衅可能导致战争。

North Korea has threatened to shell South Korea if activists in the South send anti-Pyongyang leaflets over the border.

The North's official Korean Central News Agency said Friday that the Western Front Command of the Korean People's Army would conduct a "merciless strike" without warning on northwestern Phaju City, where activists say they will launch balloons Monday carrying the leaflets.  

The KCNA accused South Korea's military of directly engineering propaganda, but Seoul has said it has nothing to do with the launches.

North Korea has lashed out at previous balloon launches, threatening to shell South Korea in response to such actions, which it calls deliberate provocation by Seoul that could lead to war.
