美國派出B 52轟炸機在韓國上空巡航

A U.S. B-52 bomber, capable of delivering nuclear missile, was deployed on Sunday in South Korea in retaliation for the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK)'s fourth nuclear test.

據韓聯社1月10日消息，週日，載有核導彈的美國B-52轟炸機進入韓國領空，旨在向進行第四次核試驗後的朝鮮施壓。

The long-range bomber, which departed from the U.S. Anderson base in Guam on Sunday morning, arrived and flied over South Korea's Osan air base at about noon, South Korea's Yonhap news agency reported.

據韓聯社報道，週日上午B-52遠程戰略轟炸機從關島安德森空軍基地起飛，從韓國烏山空軍基地上空飛過，於當地時間十二點左右到達朝鮮半島上空。

The B-52 bomber can infiltrate at the highest altitude of 55,000 feet, or 16.8 km, carrying 35 conventional bombs and 12 cruise missiles.

據悉，B-52轟炸機的作戰範圍可達到55000英尺（16.8千米）的高度，載有35枚常規炸彈和12枚巡航導彈。

It can also deliver air-to-ground nuclear missiles with a range of 200 km and air-launched cruise missiles with a range of 2,500-3,000 km.

此外。它也可以提供射程爲200千米的空對地核導彈，以及空射射程爲2500-3000公里的巡航導彈。

The deployment came as part of retaliatory measures after the DPRK said Wednesday it had successfully tested a hydrogen bomb.

上週三朝鮮宣佈成功完成氫彈測試，此次美國轟炸機戰略部署旨在向朝鮮施壓，作出迴應。

If confirmed, it would mark the DPRK's first hydrogen bomb test and the fourth nuke test in total. Previous tests were conducted in 2006, 2009 and 2013.

如果朝鮮的此次氫彈測試得到證實，這將標誌着朝鮮第一顆氫彈的試驗成功，同時也是第四次核試驗成功。前三次核試驗分別是在2006年、2009年和2013年進行。

The U.S. and South Korean militaries are reportedly considering additional retaliatory measures, which include the deployment in South Korea of the U.S. aircraft carrier Ronald Reagan currently in Yokosuka, Japan.

據報道，美國和韓國兩國正考慮向半島進一步出動軍事力量，其中包括在韓國部署美軍航母里根號，該航母目前在日本橫須賀。
