North Korea continued to send over 1,000 trash balloons to South Korea for several days, but on the 2nd, North Korea announced that it would temporarily stop sending them. 북한이 며칠동안 1천여개의 쓰레기 풍선을 한국으로 계속 띄워 보냈으나 2일 북한은 잠정 중단하겠다고 발표했다. The South Korean people have actually suffered a lot of damage due to North Korea's trash balloons, and they feel threatened. The South Korean government announced that it will take firm action if North Korea continues to engage in threatening behavior. 북한의 쓰레기 풍선으로 인해 실질적으로 한국 국민들의 피해가 많았고, 위협을 느끼고 있다. 한국 정부는 북한이 계속 위협적인 행동을 한다면 확고한 조치를 취할것이이고 발표했다. South Korea's National Security Office discussed suspending the full effect of the September 19 inter-Korean military agreement through the Cabinet meeting. In addition, it was announced that preparations are being made to resume loudspeaker broadcasts to North Korea. 한국 국가안보실은 9.19 남북 군사합의의 전체효력을 국무회의를 통해 정지 하기로 논의했다. 더불어 대북 확성기 방송재개도 준비를 갖추고 있다고 발표했다. After South...

North Korea launched a new military reconnaissance satellite again for the first time in six months. The day North Korea launched its third military reconnaissance satellite (the 27th) was right after the South Korea-Japan-China summit ended in Seoul, so I am curious about its intention. 북한이 6개월만에 또다시 새로운 군사정찰위성을 발사했다. 북한이 3차 군사정찰위성을 발사한 날(27일)은 한일중 정상회담이 서울에서 끝난 직후여서 그 의도가 무엇인지 궁금하다. North Korea may have expressed dissatisfaction with the fact that China, North Korea's blood ally, is holding a summit meeting with South Korea and Japan. However, China's position is questionable as to whether it should applaud or condemn North Korea's actions. 북한의 혈맹인 중국이 한국 일본과 함께 정상회담을 하고 있는 것에 대해 북한이 불만을 표시했을 수도 있다. 하지만 북한의 이러한 행동에 박수를 쳐야 할지 아니면 규탄을 해야 할지 중국의 입장이 의문스럽다. It is very unusual for North Korea to hastily announce...

While North Korea provides direct arms support to Russia, China overwhelmingly provides defense industry support to Russia, Secretary of State Blinken said today at the Senate budget hearing for fiscal year 25. North Korea and Iran provide direct arms support, and China indirectly supports Russia through dual-use goods. 북한은 러시아에 직접 무기를 지원하고 있지만 중국은 압도적으로 러시아에 방위산업을 지원하고 있다고 블링컨 국무장관이 오늘 25회계연도 상원 예산 청문회에서 밝혔다. 북한과 이란은 직접무기지원을 하고 중국은 이중용도 물품을 통해 간접적으로 러시아를 지원하고 있다. The U.S. Department of Defense dismissed claims by Russia and China that the U.S. and its allies are escalating tensions on the Korean Peninsula. At the same time, he refuted that despite North Korea's provocations and threats, the U.S.-ROK alliance and U.S.-South Korea-Japan cooperation have brought peace, security, and stability in the region. 미국 국방부(펜타곤)는 미국과 동맹들이 한반도 긴장을 고조시킨다는 러시아와 중국의 주장을 일축하면서 북한의 도발과 위협에도 미한 동맹과 미한일 협력이 역내 평화와 안보, 안정을 가져왔다고 반박했다. Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov claimed on the 21st that he...

(5-20-2024)   by: Janne Pak(White House & State Department & Pentagon & Congress Correspondent) @Q&A with a State Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller and Janne Pak at the State Department Press Briefing on May 20, 2024. @Last week on the 17th, North Korea launched several ballistic missiles into the East Sea. And it was announced that this missile flew 300Km. As trade, economic, and science and technology cooperation between Russia and North Korea is in full swing, Russian President Putin held a two-day summit meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping last week and promised to strengthen solidarity between the two countries. 러시아와 북한간의 무역, 경제, 과학기술 협력이 본격화되고 있는가운데 푸틴 러시아대통령이 지난주 이틀간 시진핑 중국 국가주석과 정상회담을 갖고 양국간의 연대강화를 약속했다. Science and technology cooperation between North Korea and Russia is a serious violation of UN Security Council resolutions. It is unclear what promises China and Russia made behind the scenes, but the joint statement includes anti-American remarks and statements defending North Korea. 북러 간 과학기술 협력은 엄중한 유엔 안보리 결의 위반이다. 중국과 러시아가 물밑으로 어떤 약속을 했는지는 알수없지만 공동성명에서 보면 반미 발언과 북한에 대해 옹호하는 성명이 포함되어 있다. The U.S. State Department said that the strengthening of solidarity between North Korea,...

Russian President Putin, who was on a state visit to Beijing, held a summit meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping on the 16th (local time) and said in a joint statement, “The two countries are committed to building a closed and exclusive bloc structure in the Asia-Pacific region, especially a military alliance targeting third countries. “We oppose it,” they said, asserting that “the U.S. Indo-Pacific strategy and NATO’s (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) destructive actions in the Asia-Pacific region are having a negative impact on peace and stability in the region.” 베이징을 국빈 방문한 푸틴 러시아 대통령은 시진핑 중국주석과 16일(현지시간) 정상회담을 갖은후 공동성명에서 “양국은 아시아 태평양 지역에서 폐쇄적이고 배타적인 블록 구조, 특히 제3국을 겨냥한 군사동맹 구축에 반대한다.”면서 “미국의 인도 태평양 전략과 나토(북대서양조약기구)의 아시아 태평양 지역에서의 파괴적인 행위가 이 지역의 평화와 안정에 부정적인 영향을 미친다고.”고 주장했다. In addition, “both countries (China and Russia) oppose the escalation of tensions on the Korean Peninsula by the United States and its allies’ threatening actions in the military domain, confrontation with North...

Russian President Putin, who is visiting China, is holding a two-day summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping on the 16th and 17th. 중국을 방문중인 푸틴 러시아 대통령은 16~17일 이틀간의 일정으로 시진핑 중국주석과 정상회담을 갖고 있다. In a joint statement issued after the summit meeting on the 16th (local time), President Putin and President Xi said, “The two countries (China and Russia) will refrain from threatening actions in the military domain by the United States and its allies, confrontation with North Korea, and the possibility of causing armed conflict.” “We are opposed to escalating tensions on the Korean Peninsula through provocations,” They said, defending North Korea. 푸틴 대통령과 시 주석은 16일(현지시간) 정상회담 뒤 발표한 공동성명에서 “양국(중국과 러시아)은 미국과 그 동맹들의 군사 영역에서의 위협 행위와 북한과의 대결 및 유발 가능성이 있는 무장 충돌 도발로 한반도 긴장을 격화하는 것에 반대 한다.”면서 북한을 옹호했다. The leaders of China and Russia also said, “We urge you to abandon threats, sanctions, and means of repression against North Korea.” 중러 정상은...

On the 12th, North Korean Kim Jong-un was reported to have ordered the expansion of production of North Korea's new 240mm multiple rocket launcher and strengthening of combat power while inspecting important defense industrial enterprises under the Second Economic Committee. Kim Jong-un declared that the 240mm multiple rocket launchers would be aimed at the South Korean metropolitan area and the U.S. military, and announced that he would deploy new multiple rocket launchers in the All People's Army and prepare for war. 북한 김정은은 지난 12일 제2경제위원회 산하 중요 국방공업기업소들을 시찰하면서 북한의 신형 240mm 방사포 생산 확대와 전투력강화를 지시했다고 보됐다. 김정은은 240mm 방사포는 한국 수도권과 미군을 겨냥할 것이라고 선언하면서 전인민군대에 새 방사포를 배치하고 전쟁준비태세에 임할것이라고 발표했다. Military experts analyzed that North Korea appears to be attempting to equip existing artillery shells with control wings equipped with a location information system (GPS) to provide guidance functions, and the range of existing artillery shells is known to be up to 60km. 군 전문가들은 북한이 기존 포탄에 위치정보시스템(GPS)을 갖춘 조종 날개를...
