朝鲜周一威胁称将恢复通过高音喇叭进行宣传广播，并在朝韩边境部署更多武器。两国之间的敌对情绪持续升级，这起事件源于上个月发生的地雷爆炸事件——该事件导致三名韩国士兵受伤。
North Korea threatened Monday to resume propaganda loudspeaker broadcasts and deploy more weapons along the border with South Korea, as the rivals remain locked in animosities over last month’s mine blasts that injured three South Korean soldiers.
本月早些时候，韩国正式指责朝鲜在边境埋设了地雷，并要求朝鲜道歉并清除剩余的地雷。
Earlier this month, South Korea formally blamed North Korea-planted mines for the Sept. 21 blasts at the border, urging the North to apologize and remove other mines.
此前，朝鲜否认了对这些爆炸事件的责任，并警告称如果受到挑衅将采取强烈报复措施。
That announcement came after North Korea denied responsibility for the explosions and warned of strong retaliation if provoked.
周一，朝鲜领导人金正恩的妹妹金与正指责韩国自8月以来多次以“荒谬的借口”在边境开枪并发出警告广播，称这些行为“已经越过了底线”。她表示，自地雷爆炸事件发生以来，韩国的挑衅行为“已经突破了所有底线”。
On Monday, Kim Yo Jong, the powerful sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, accused South Korea of firing warning shots and issuing warning broadcasts numerous times at the border since August under “such an unreasonable pretext” that North Korean soldiers crossed the border. She said that such provocations “have gone beyond the red line” since the mine blasts.
金与正称：“由于韩国军方的鲁莽行为，朝鲜南部边境的局势十分严峻。”她表示，朝鲜军方正在考虑在边境部署更多战术性打击手段，作为应对突发情况的预防性措施，并计划恢复针对韩国的高音喇叭宣传广播。
“A grave situation is prevailing along the southern border due to the reckless behavior of the ROK military gangsters,” Kim Yo Jong said, referring to South Korea by its official name, the Republic of Korea. She said the North Korean military was considering “deploying more tactical strike means along the southern border as a preemptive and suppressive measure to deal with contingency, and of resuming the loudspeaker broadcasting against the ROK.”
近年来，朝鲜边境的紧张局势不断加剧。朝鲜一直在边境增设地雷、铁丝网、反坦克障碍物等防御设施，以贯彻其与韩国断绝关系的政策。韩国军方此前表示，今年朝鲜士兵在边境进行防御工事建设时共50次越过了军事分界线；韩国方面对此采取了开枪警告和广播警告的应对措施。对于朝鲜的最新威胁，韩国军方尚未立即作出回应。
In recent years, tensions along the Korean border, one of the world’s most heavily fortified, have increased as North Korea added mines, barbed wire fences, anti-tank barriers and other front-line fortifications in line with its policy of terminating ties with South Korea. South Korea’s military earlier said North Korean soldiers violated the border’s military demarcation line 50 times this year during their fortification works. South Korea’s military said it responded by firing warning shots and making warning broadcasts. It didn’t immediately respond to the latest North Korean warning.
2015年，朝鲜被指控制造了地雷爆炸事件，导致两名韩国士兵受伤。这一事件将朝鲜半岛推向了武装冲突的边缘，因为韩国在时隔11年后再次恢复了在前线的广播宣传活动。
In 2015, mine blasts blamed on North Korea that maimed two South Korean soldiers pushed the Koreas to the brink of an armed conflict, after South Korea resumed front-line loudspeaker propaganda broadcasts for the first time in 11 years.
这种通过广播进行宣传的方式属于冷战时期的老式心理战手段，两国在对抗时期偶尔会使用这种手段互相施压。
Loudspeaker broadcasts are one of the old-fashioned, Cold War-era psychological warfare campaigns the two Koreas have occasionally used against each other in times of confrontation.
自去年李在明总统执政以来，韩国的自由派政府为了改善与朝鲜的关系，停止了此类广播活动。随后，朝鲜也停止了自己的广播宣传。
Since taking office last year, South Korea’s liberal government, led by President Lee Jae-Myung, halted such broadcasts as part of efforts to improve ties with North Korea. North Korea later stopped its own broadcasts.
最近，朝鲜加大了武器试验的力度，这很可能是为了向美国施压，迫使美国做出更大的让步。此前，唐纳德·特朗普总统曾重新努力与金正恩恢复外交关系。
North Korea has recently dialed up weapons testing activities in a likely bid to pressure the United States to make bigger concessions, after President Donald Trump renewed his efforts to restore diplomacy with Kim Jong Un.
