Two missiles that North Korea launched on 14 January were fired from the Korean People's Army's (KPA's) newly established railway-borne regiment, Pyongyang has said.

平壤方面表示，朝鲜于1月14日发射的两枚导弹是从朝鲜人民军（KPA）新成立的铁道机动导弹团发射的。

 

The government's Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said on 15 January that the firing drill “checked the proficiency” of the missile regiment's procedures.

官方朝鲜中央通讯社（KCNA）1月15日表示，发射演习“检查了导弹团程序的熟练程度”。

 

Janes analysis of images issued by KCNA suggests that the weapon is the KN-23 short-range ballistic missiles (SRBMs), the same type that the railway-borne missile regiment test-launched in September 2021.

简氏（Janes）对朝中社发布的图像的分析表明，该武器是KN-23型短程弹道导弹（SRBM），与铁道导弹团2021年9月试射的型号相同。

 

KCNA also confirmed that the projectiles, which it termed as “tactical guided missiles”, were launched from North Pyongan Province, a northwestern region bordering China.

朝中社还证实，这些被称为“战术导弹”的导弹是从与中国接壤的西北部平安北道发射的。

 

“The drill was aimed at checking the alert posture of the combatants of the regiment and bolstering their ability of discharging firepower mission,” it added.

补充说“此次演习旨在检查全团战斗人员的警戒姿态，增强他们执行火力任务的能力，”。

 

The KCNA report said the missile launches were organised and executed at “short notice” and “precisely struck the set target” in the Sea of Japan (also known as East Sea).

朝中社的报告称，导弹发射是在“短时间内”组织和执行的，并且“准确击中了日本海（也称为东海）的设定目标”。
