North Korea Releases Dam Water into South Without Warning

朝鮮未經(jīng)警告向南韓泄洪

North Korea released water from a dam near its border with South Korea Wednesday morning without warning.

周三早晨朝鮮在未提出警告下將其與南韓邊界的一個(gè)大壩泄洪。

No major injuries or damage have been reported from Wednesday’s opening of the Hwanggang Dam. South Korea moved residents along the Imjin River to higher ground. Officials are worried about flooding in areas already hit with heavy rain.

目前還沒有因周三的黃崗大壩泄洪而導(dǎo)致人員大量受傷或是財(cái)產(chǎn)損失的報(bào)告。南韓將臨津江沿岸居民轉(zhuǎn)移到了水平較高的地方。官方擔(dān)憂這些地區(qū)的洪水會(huì)帶來暴雨。

South Korea said it does not believe that North Korea would take part in a “flooding attack.” But dam openings have taken place in the past.

南韓稱其不相信朝鮮會(huì)采取“洪水襲擊”的策略。但是開放大壩這種事以前也發(fā)生過。

In 2009, North Korea released water from the dam without warning. That incident killed six South Koreans who were camping downstream.

2009年朝鮮就在未經(jīng)警告下從大壩泄洪。那次事故造成了6個(gè)在下游宿營的韓國人死亡。

After that incident, North Korea agreed to tell South Korea before releasing water from the dam. But South Korea’s news agency said the North also opened the dam’s floodgates two times in May without warning.

那次事故后，朝鮮同意在大壩泄洪前告知韓國。但是韓國新聞局稱5月份朝鮮仍然在未經(jīng)警告下兩次開放大壩水閘。

No injuries were reported in either incident.

那兩次事故中沒有人員傷亡報(bào)告。
