　【ソウル時事】北朝鮮の朝鮮中央通信は１３日、金正恩朝鮮労働党総書記が「６００ミリ放射砲（多連装ロケット砲）」の試射を視察したと伝えた。新型の移動式発射台（ＴＥＬ）の性能検証が目的で、ミサイルは日本海の島に命中したという。
　日韓両国の防衛当局が１２日に捉えた複数発の短距離弾道ミサイルの発射を指すとみられる。朝鮮中央通信によると、北朝鮮の国防工業企業所が開発した新型ＴＥＬは走行能力を向上させ、ミサイル発射前の手順を自動化した。正恩氏はＴＥＬの機動性や効率性を評価。同通信は「試射で優れた戦闘性能が実証された」と強調した。（2024/09/13-10:33）

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has overseen the test-firing of a 600-millimeter multiple rocket launcher, the country's state media reported Friday.
   According to the Korean Central News Agency, the test-firing was aimed at examining the performance of the new transporter erector launcher, or TEL, and missiles hit the target on an island in the Sea of Japan.
   The test-firing appears to be related to the launch of several short-range ballistic missiles detected by Japanese and South Korean defense authorities Thursday.
   The new TEL, developed by an entity under the jurisdiction of North Korea's Second Economy Commission, which is in charge of munitions management, has an enhanced driving ability and features automated procedures before launching missiles, according to the KCNA.
   Kim praised the new launcher's mobility and efficiency, the KCNA noted, stressing that its excellent combat performance was demonstrated during the test-firing.
