@Q&A with a State Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller and Janne Pak at the State Department Press Briefing on August 5, 2024.

@Kim Jong-un attended the handover ceremony for a new tactical ballistic missile launcher held in Pyongyang on the 4th and announced that 250 missile launchers have been deployed to the first line of border troops.

North Korea's Kim Jong-un attended the handover ceremony for a new tactical ballistic missile launcher held in Pyongyang on the 4th and announced that 250 missile launchers have been deployed to the first line of border units. He emphasized that this effectively establishes a nuclear capability posture, and in particular, “the effectiveness of tactical nuclear weapons has also been improved in practical terms.”

북한 김정은이 4일 평양에서 열린 신형 전술탄도미사일 발사대 인계 인수식에 참석해 미사일 발사대 250대가 국경 제1선 부대에 배치 됐다고 밝혔다. 이는 사실상 핵역량 태세구비를 갖추었고 특히“전술핵의 실용적 측면에서도 효과성을 제고하게 됐다.”고 강조했다.

In response to North Korea's announcement on the 5th that it had deployed a large-scale tactical nuclear ballistic missile launcher on the front line, the U.S. State Department said, "We urge North Korea to stop its provocative and counterproductive actions and return to the negotiating table."

미 국무성은 5일 북한이 대규모 전술핵 탄도미사일 발사대를 최전선에 배치됐다고 밝힌데 대해, “북한이 도발적이고 비생산적인 조치를 중단하고 협상 테이블로 복귀할 것을 촉구 했다”

Regarding North Korea, which is currently suffering from flood damage and has chosen Russia's aid while rejecting South Korea's aid, State Department said, "No matter what differences we have with any government, it is not a difference with the people of that country." “We hope that the humanitarian needs of the North Korean people will be resolved,” At the same time, said, “We will leave it up to South Korea to decide or propose.”

북한이 현재 홍수피해를 겪고 있는데 한국의 지원을 거부하고 러시아의 지원을 선택한것에 대해 선별적 지원 선택을 한 북한에 대해서 “우리가 어떤 정부와 어떤 차이점을 갖고 있더라도 그것은 그 나라 국민과의 차이점이 아니다.”며 북한 주민들의 인도주의적 필요가 해결 되기를 희망한다.“고 밝혔다. 그러면서 한국이 내닐 결정이나 제안에 대해 한국에 맡기겠다.”고 밝혔다.

In response to my question, State Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller said at the Department of State's regular briefing today (5th), "What do you think about North Korea's sudden action in response to North Korea's announcement that it will deploy a large-scale tactical nuclear ballistic missile launcher at the front line?"

“We will urge North Korea to stop its provocative and counterproductive actions and return to the negotiating table,” he said.

매튜 밀러 국무성 대변인은 오늘(5일) 국무성 정례브리핑에서 “북한이 대규모 전술핵 탄도미사일 발사대를 최전선에 배치하겠다고 밝힌데 대해, 북한의 갑작스러운 행동에 대해 어떻게 생각하느냐?”는 나의 질문에, 그는, “우리는 북한이 도발적이고 비생산적인 조치를 중단하고 협상 테이블로 복귀하도록 촉구할 것이다.”고 말했다.

Also, when asked whether he thought North Korea's seventh nuclear test was imminent, he said, "I have no assessment to provide on that."

또한 북한의 7차 핵실험이 임박했다고 보느냐?는 질문에는, “그것에 대해 제공할 평가가 없다.”고 말했다.

Meanwhile, to the question, "North Korea is currently experiencing many casualties due to flood. South Korea said it would provide humanitarian aid, but North Korea chose only support from Russia. What do you think of North Korea which selectively chooses humanitarian aid?"

한편 “현재 홍수 피해로 많은 인명피해를 겪고 있는 북한이 한국의 지원보다 러시아의 지원만을 선택하고 있는데 대해 선별적인 인도적 지원을 선택하는 북한에 대해 어떻게 생각하느냐?“는 질문에는,

He added, "obviously our thoughts are always with the people of North Korea, as they are with the people of any country around the world when they suffer a humanitarian disaster." "And whatever differences we have with any government, those are not differences with the people of that country." "And so we would hope to see the speak to decisions or offers that they might have made."

”분명히 우리의 생각은 인도주의적 재난을 겪을 때 전 세계 어느 나라의 사람들과 마찬가지로 항상 북한 사람들과 함께 있다.“며 ”우리가 어떤 정부와 어떤 차이점을 갖고 있더라도 그것은 그 나라 국민과의 차이점이 아니다.“고 말했다. 그러면서 따라서 우리는 북한 주민들의 인도주의적 필요가 해결되기를 희망하며, 한국이 내린 결정이나 제안에 대해 한국에 맡기겠다.“고 덧붙였다.

(자세한 내용은 아래 매튜 밀러 국무성대변인과 제니 박 기자의 질의응답을 참고하십시오.)

QUESTION:(Janne Pak): Two questions. North Korea announced that it will deploy a large-scale tactical nuclear ballistic missile launcher to the front lines. What do you think of North Korea’s sudden actions?

북한이 대규모 전술핵 탄도미사일 발사대를 최전선에 배치하겠다고 밝혔다. 북한의 갑작스러운 행동에 대해 어떻게 생각하시나요?

A:(MR MILLER): We would encourage North Korea to discontinue taking provocative and unproductive steps and return to the negotiating table.

우리는 북한이 도발적이고 비생산적인 조치를 중단하고 협상 테이블로 복귀하도록 촉구할 것입니다.

QUESTION:(Janne Pak): Do you think North Korea’s seventh nuclear test is imminent?

북한의 7차 핵실험이 임박했다고 생각하나요?

A:(MR MILLER): I don’t have any assessment to offer on that.

나는 그것에 대해 제공할 평가가 없습니다.

QUESTION:(Janne Pak): A quick question. North Korea is currently experiencing many casualties due to flood. South Korea said it would provide humanitarian aid, but North Korea chose only support from Russia. What do you think of North Korea which selectively chooses humanitarian aid?

북한은 현재 홍수로 인해 많은 인명피해를 겪고 있다. 한국은 인도적 지원을 하겠다고 했으나 북한은 러시아 지원만을 선택했다. 인도적 지원을 선별적으로 선택하는 북한에 대해 어떻게 생각하시나요?

A:(MR MILLER): So obviously our thoughts are always with the people of North Korea, as they are with the people of any country around the world when they suffer a humanitarian disaster. And whatever differences we have with any government, those are not differences with the people of that country. And so we would hope to see the humanitarian needs of the North Korean people addressed, and I’ll let South Korea speak to decisions or offers that they might have made.

따라서 분명히 우리의 생각은 인도주의적 재난을 겪을 때 전 세계 어느 나라의 사람들과 마찬가지로 항상 북한 사람들과 함께 있습니다. 그리고 우리가 어떤 정부와 어떤 차이점을 갖고 있더라도 그것은 그 나라 국민과의 차이점이 아닙니다. 따라서 우리는 북한 주민들의 인도주의적 필요가 해결되기를 희망하며, 한국이 내린 결정이나 제안에 대해 그들(한국)이 이야기하도록 하겠습니다.(끝)

It is fortunate that President Yoon Suk-yeol's martial law declaration was lifted without any armed conflict. Due to the opposition party's legislative monopoly, Korea had no choice but to impose martial law due to the loss of national security and state function.
