駐韓美軍司令對朝鮮危險發出警告

The top commander of U.S. forces in South Korea says he is concerned about North Korea's growing capability to carry out attacks through nonconventional means, such as cyber warfare and chemical weapons. Speaking to the House Armed Services Committee on Wednesday, General James Thurman said North Korea's advances in computer hacking and biological weapons, combined with its massive conventional military, pose a serious threat to South Korea.

Thurman also warns that, if left "unchecked," the development of Pyongyang's missile capability could eventually threaten the United he says that the nearly 30,000 U.S. troops stationed in South Korea are well positioned to repel any potential attack from North Korea, which has the fourth largest army in the world.駐韓美軍最高指揮官說，他對朝鮮不斷增強的發動非常規襲擊的能力感到擔憂，這種能力包括網絡戰爭和化學武器。瑟曼星期三在美國國會衆議院軍事委員會表示，朝鮮在電腦入侵和生化武器方面取得進展，再加上其大規模常規軍力，因此給韓國構成嚴重威脅。

瑟曼還警告說，如果不加以“制約”，朝鮮在導彈能力上取得的進展將最終威脅到美國。但他說，駐紮在韓國的近3萬美軍能夠擊退任何朝鮮可能發動的襲擊。朝鮮擁有世界第四大規模的陸軍。
