N. Korean state media again silent on missile launches

SEOUL, Sept. 13 (Yonhap) -- North Korean state media on Sunday made no mention of the ballistic missiles fired a day earlier, continuing a pattern of silence over its missile launches since early August.

The Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) and the Rodong Sinmun, the most widely read newspaper in the country, had made no mention of the launches as of 9 a.m.

On Saturday, North Korea fired multiple short-range ballistic missiles from the Wonsan area toward the East Sea, just a day after South Korea, the United States and Japan wrapped up their trilateral military exercise.

Pyongyang fired a short-range ballistic missile toward the East Sea on Aug. 6 and another on Aug. 12, followed by a barrage of the same type of ballistic missiles on Aug. 20, as South Korea and the United States staged their annual Ulchi Freedom Shield exercise. North Korean state media remained silent on all three launches.

The North has typically used its state media to publicize its ballistic missile launches the following day, especially when North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has overseen them.

The silence comes amid conciliatory signals toward Pyongyang from U.S. President Donald Trump, who has expressed his intention to meet Kim later this year.

During his first term, Trump met with Kim three times: the first in June 2018 in Singapore, the second in February 2019 in Hanoi and the third at the inter-Korean border village of Panmunjom in June 2019.

首尔，9月13日（韩联社）——朝鲜官方媒体周日没有提及前一天发射的弹道导弹，延续了自8月初以来对其导弹发射保持沉默的局面。

截至上午9点，朝鲜中央通讯社（朝中社）和该国发行量最大的报纸《劳动新闻》均未提及此次发射活动。

周六，朝鲜从元山地区向东海发射了多枚短程弹道导弹，而就在一天前，韩国、美国和日本刚刚结束了三边联合军事演习。

8月6日，平壤向东海发射了一枚短程弹道导弹；8月12日，又发射了一枚；8月20日，在韩国和美国举行年度“乙支自由之盾”联合军演期间，朝鲜再次发射了一系列同类型弹道导弹。朝鲜官方媒体对这三次发射均保持沉默。

朝鲜通常会在第二天通过官方媒体公布其弹道导弹发射活动，尤其是在朝鲜领导人金正恩亲自监督的情况下。

在朝鲜方面保持沉默之际，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普向平壤释放了和解信号，并表示有意在今年晚些时候与金正恩会面。

在第一任期内，特朗普与金正恩会面三次：第一次是在 2018 年 6 月于新加坡，第二次是在 2019 年 2 月于河内，第三次是在 2019 年 6 月于朝韩边境的板门店。
