북한, “대포동 2 미사일” 발사 강행

 

Good evening? On this nation’s 230^th birthday, we begin with 2 major stories tonight, a returned manned 유인의 spaceflight for the US and from North Korea, a late developing and potentially serious new escalation 단계적 확대 in the standoff 대치상태 over its missile program. North Korea test-fired 3 missiles, 2 medium-range which landed in the Sea of Japan and an intercontinental missile capable of reaching the United States. Jim Miklaszewski at the Pentagon tonight. Jim? Good evening?

 

Good evening, Anne? If it had worked, the Tapodong 2 ballistic missile 탄도 미사일 could conceivably 생각할 수 있는 바로는, 상상컨대 have reached the continental United States. US government officials tell NBC News that the long-range Taepodong 2 missile similar to this one failed and crashed into the Sea of Japan within about 35 seconds after it was launched. The officials had no early explanation for what was an apparent total malfunction 고장, 기능불량.

 

US spy and heat-sensing satellites detected the launch immediately. Just before the long-range Taepodong was fired, the North Koreans launched 2 medium-range scud-type missiles which both splashed 풍덩 떨어지다 harmlessly into the Sea of Japan. US officials say the first scud was fired within minutes of the launch of the Shuttle Discovery from Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The officials say the North Korean’s timing was not accidental 우발적인, 뜻밖의.

 

The US had been anticipating 예상하다 launch for 3 weeks after the Taepodong 2 was spotted at a launch pad 발사대 apparently <보기에> ~인 것 같은 being fueled for flight. Within the past several days, US satellites detected preparations for the launch at a separate site of the scud missiles. At the same time, the North Koreans issued a warning to mariners 선원 to stay clear of ~에서 떨어져있다 the waters off North Korea in the coming days.

 

US officials believe in operational Taepodong 2 could conceivably reach the continental United States, but that North Korea is at least 5 to 6 years away from being able to match a nuclear weapon to a missile.
