韩国军方称，朝鲜周四向其东海岸发射了一枚不明飞行物，这是平壤近几个月来的一系列武器试验中的最新一次。韩国联合参谋本部未提供进一步细节，包括发射武器的类型。
North Korea on Thursday launched an unidentified projectile off its east coast, South Korea’s military said, the latest in a series of weapons tests by Pyongyang in recent months. South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff gave no further details, including the type of weapon fired.
此次发射发生在两韩因上个月地雷爆炸导致三名韩国士兵受伤而敌意升级之际。
The launch comes amid rising animosity between the two Koreas over last month’s land mine blasts that injured three South Korean soldiers.
首尔指责朝鲜在军事分界线以南埋设地雷，导致9月21日发生爆炸，但平壤否认对爆炸负责，并警告如果受到挑衅将进行报复。
Seoul has accused North Korea of planting mines south of the military demarcation line that caused the Sept. 21 blasts, but Pyongyang has denied responsibility for the explosions and warned of retaliation if provoked.
上周，朝鲜表示将恢复前线宣传广播，并在与韩国重兵把守的边境部署新型武器系统。
Last week, North Korea said it would resume front-line propaganda broadcasts and deploy new weapons systems along the heavily armed border with South Korea.
韩国随后提议就明确边界线举行会谈以防止意外冲突，但朝鲜尚未回应。
South Korea later proposed talks on clarifying the borderline to prevent accidental clashes, but North Korea hasn’t responded.
周四的发射也是在朝鲜领导人金正恩通过新落成的连接两国的大桥访问中国五天后进行的。
Thursday’s launch also comes five days after North Korean leader Kim Jong Un visited China via a newly inaugurated bridge connecting the two countries.
