朝鲜威胁将南北双方设立的边境工业园区划为军事区

Rising tensions on the Korean peninsula are jeopardizing a joint industrial project that has served as one of the few remaining symbols of reconciliation between Seoul and Pyongyang.

North Korea has warned the South it will abandon the Kaesong Industrial Complex and turn the border area back into a military zone if Seoul follows through on its pledge to tighten inspections there.

Earlier this week, Seoul\'s Unification Ministry said it would more closely monitor industrial parts and other cargo shipped into the facility, as a result of expanded U.N. sanctions against Pyongyang following a banned November rocket launch.

North Korean has reacted angrily to the sanctions, promising to launch more missiles and conduct another nuclear test, which is expected to take place in just days.

朝鲜警告韩国说，如果首尔坚持誓言要加紧对开城工业园区的检查，平壤就将放弃这一项目，并把那一边境地区划为军事区。

韩国统一部本星期早些时候说，由于联合国针对平壤去年11月发射被禁的火箭而扩大对朝鲜的制裁，韩国将更密切地监督进入开城工业园区的工业零部件和其他货物。

朝鲜对联合国的制裁做出愤怒反应，誓言将发射更多火箭以及再次进行核试验，预计平壤将在几天内进行核试验。
