North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has threatened to attack a South Korean border island in response to Seoul and Washington's ongoing annual military exercises.

朝鲜领导人金正恩威胁要攻击韩国边界的一个岛屿，作为对美韩正在进行的年度军演的回应。

Mr. Kim was quoted in state media Tuesday as telling front-line troops to prepare to destroy "enemy targets" on Baengnyeong island, near the site of a deadly North Korean attack in 2010.

朝鲜官方媒体星期二报道说，金正恩命令边防前线部队做好战斗准备，摧毁白翎岛上的敌人目标。2010年，朝鲜在白翎岛附近发动过致命袭击。

It is the latest in a series of dramatic threats by North Korea following last week's U.N. sanctions over its latest nuclear test.

自从上星期联合国因核试验而对朝鲜实施制裁以来，朝鲜发出了一系列严厉威胁。这是最新的一次。

Seoul's Defense Ministry spokesperson Kim Min-seok on Tuesday said there is no evidence of an impending attack or weapons test by North Korea, which he said is just trying to put "psychological pressure" on the South.

韩国国防部发言人金珉奭星期二说，目前还没有关于朝鲜准备进攻或者进行武器试验的任何迹象。他说，朝鲜只是试图对韩国施加心理压力。
