SEOUL - North Korea attempted to launch an intermediate range ballistic missile off the country’s east coast on Friday but the launch failed, South Korea’s Yonhap News Agency reported.

(首尔)根据韩国联合通讯社报道,周五朝鲜在其东海岸欲发射一枚中程弹道导弹,但试验失败。

The failed launch follows North Korea’s fourth nuclear test in January and a long-range rocket launch the next month, which led to fresh U.N. sanctions.

这次试验是朝鲜今年于1月进行的核试验和2月进行的远程火箭试验后的第三次试验。联合国就前两次试验对其进行了新的制裁。

Yonhap said the failed launch appeared to be a Musudan missile with a range of more than 3,000 kms (1,800 miles).

联合通讯社报道称,该失败试验使用的可能是舞水端导弹,射程超过3000千米(1800英里)。

An official at the South Korean defense ministry said North Korea was attempting a missile launch early on Friday morning but the launch appeared to have failed, however, the official could not confirm the type of missile.

韩国国防部官员表示,朝鲜在周五清晨试图发射一枚导弹,但失败了。然而,该官员未能确认导弹的型号。

The U.S. military detected and tracked the missile launch at 0533 Korea time, or 2033 GMT on Thursday, a Defense Department spokesman said in a statement. The missile did not pose a threat to North America, the statement said.

美国国防部发言人发表声明称,美国军方在韩国时间5时33分监测到导弹发射。声明中还提到,该导弹对北美不会造成任何威胁。

"We call again on North Korea to refrain from actions and rhetoric that further raise tensions in the region and focus instead on taking concrete steps toward fulfilling its international commitments and obligations," the official said.

该官员表示:“我们再次呼吁朝鲜在言语和行动上避免加深半岛的紧张局势,并且以实际行动履行其国际义务和责任。”

The United States, which has 28,000 troops stationed in South Korea, said on Thursday it was aware of reports that North Korea was preparing to test intermediate-range missiles and was closely monitoring the Korean Peninsula.

美国在韩国有2万8千人次驻军。周四,美国表示其已知晓朝鲜准备测试洲际导弹,并且正密切监控朝鲜半岛。

Friday is the anniversary of North Korean founding president Kim Il Sung’s birthday, April 15, and is widely celebrated in the isolated country. In 2012, the day was marked by a long range rocket launch attempt, which also failed.

周五是朝鲜建国主席金日成的诞辰,为全朝鲜所庆祝。在2012年,朝鲜同样在这天进行远距导弹试验,也同样是失败了。

On Thursday, North Korea deployed one or two Musudan ballistic missiles on its east coast in apparent preparation for the launch, South Korea’s Yonhap news agency reported, citing multiple South Korean government sources.

韩国联合通讯社援引多方政府消息报道,周四朝鲜在其东海岸部署了一或两枚舞水端导弹,为发射做准备。

The Musudan missile, with a design range of more than 3,000 km (1,800 miles), is not known to have been flight-tested, according to South Korean defense ministry and experts.

韩国国防部和相关专家表示,舞水端导弹的射程大于3000千米(1800英里),目前是否被投入试射试验仍旧未知。

Some experts have said North Korea may choose to test-fire the Musudan in the near future as it tries to build an intercontinental ballistic missile designed to put the mainland United States within range.

一些专家已经表示,朝鲜可能不久就会选择在舞水端进行试射,因为其正试图完成一个将美国大陆纳入射程范围的洲际导弹。

North Korea, which regularly threatens to destroy ,South Korea and the United States, often fires missiles during periods of tension in the region or when it comes under pressure to curb its defiance and abandon its weapons programs.

朝鲜定期威胁称要毁灭韩国和美国,经常在半岛局势紧张时,或者是被要求收起气焰和放弃武器项目的时候发射导弹。
