長距離巡航ミサイル試射　戦術核部隊、正恩氏「敵に警告」―北朝鮮

　【ソウル時事】朝鮮中央通信は１３日、北朝鮮が１２日に「長距離戦略巡航ミサイル」２発の試験発射を行ったと報じた。ミサイルが「戦術核運用部隊に作戦配備された」と説明し、軍事拠点への攻撃などに使う戦術核兵器の搭載を想定しているとみられる。金正恩朝鮮労働党総書記が現地視察し「敵に再び送る明白な警告だ」と主張した。
　黄海上空に設定された楕円（だえん）と８の字状の軌道に沿って、約２０００キロを２時間５０分３４秒かけて飛び、目標に命中したという。日本を射程圏内に入れるとみられる。正恩氏は「いかなる軍事的危機や戦争危機も断固として抑止し、主導権を完全に握れるよう核戦力の運用空間を拡大し続けるべきだ」と強調した。（2022/10/13-09:48）

North Korea conducted test launches of two long-range strategic cruise missiles on Wednesday, the country's state-run Korean Central News Agency said Thursday.
   The launches were drills for North Korea's tactical nuclear weapons operation units, the KCNA said. The country apparently assumes the use of long-range strategic cruise missiles mounted with tactical nuclear weapons to attack, for example, enemy military bases.
   North Korea's top leader, Kim Jong Un, observed the launches in person and said that his country again sent a clear warning to enemies through the firing, according to the news agency.
   The missiles flew over the Yellow Sea along oval and figure-eight patterns for two hours, 50 minutes and 34 seconds. After traveling some 2,000 kilometers, the missiles hit a target, the KCNA said.
   Kim was quoted as saying that North Korea should continue to expand and take full control of the operational sphere of nuclear forces to resolutely deter any military crisis or war crisis.
