Hu urges restraint on missile test crisis

China is committed to maintaining peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula and opposed to any actions that might aggravate the situation, President Hu Jintao said yesterday.
Hu made the remarks when talking to his US counterpart George W. Bush about Pyongyang's launch of several missiles on Wednesday.
In the telephone conversation, Bush said that the United States was concerned about the current situation on the Korean Peninsula.
Washington still adheres to the commitment of resolving the Korean Peninsula issue by diplomatic means, Bush was quoted as saying in a statement from China's Foreign Ministry.
The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) acknowledged for the first time yesterday that it had launched the missiles. It vowed to conduct more tests and threatened to use force if the international community tried to stop it.
"We will go on with missile launch exercises as part of efforts to bolster deterrence for self-defence in the future, too," DPRK's official KCNA news agency quoted a foreign ministry spokesman as saying.
"The DPRK will have no option but to take stronger physical actions of other forms should any other country dare take issue with the exercises and put pressure upon it."
The DPRK reportedly launched at least six missiles from its east coast early on Wednesday, including a long-range Taepodong-2, which some experts said could hit Alaska.
The Republic of Korea (ROK) press reported yesterday that the DPRK had three or four short- or medium-range missiles on launch pads ready for firing.
US Undersecretary of State R. Nicholas Burns told CNN yesterday that his country would work to muster international pressure on the DPRK to "cease and desist" such actions.

朝鲜说发射导弹是为了加强国防自卫力量

中国宁波网讯：据新华网平壤7月6日电(记者高浩荣)朝鲜外务省发言人6日在平壤证实，朝鲜确实发射了导弹，但这只是军事训练的一部分，是为了加强国防自卫力量。
这位发言人当天对朝鲜中央通讯社记者说，导弹发射是“成功的”。他同时强调，发射导弹是一个主权国家的合法权利。朝鲜今后还将继续进行导弹发射训练，以加强自卫遏制力。
发言人还指出，发射导弹与旨在解决朝鲜半岛核问题的六方会谈无关，朝鲜通过对话和协商实现朝鲜半岛无核化目标的决心“至今没有变化”。
朝鲜指责美国频繁对其进行空中侦察
新华网平壤7月6日电(记者高浩荣)据朝鲜中央通讯社6日报道，今年上半年美国针对朝鲜的空中侦察活动多达1000余次，“已经达到危险的阶段”。
报道说，美国从今年初开始就加强了对朝鲜的空中侦察活动。美国的“U-2”高空战略侦察机、“RC-135”战略侦察机、“E-3”指挥机、“EP-3”电子侦察机以及“RC-7B”、“RC-12”等战术侦察机连续不断对朝鲜前沿阵地、重要军事目标以及军事动向进行侦察活动。尤其是6月以来，这样的空中侦察活动更加频繁。
朝中社的报道指出，美国的这种空中侦察活动“极度激化了朝鲜半岛的局势”，激起朝鲜军队和人民的“极大义愤”。朝鲜将进一步加强自己的军事遏制力量，“毫不留情地惩罚美国的挑衅行为”。
