摘要：A "serious accident" occurred when the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) launched a newly-built 5,000-tonnage destroyer

据朝中社22日报道，朝鲜21日举行新建的5000吨级驱逐舰下水仪式期间发生“重大事故”。

A "serious accident" occurred when the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) launched a newly-built 5,000-tonnage destroyer on Wednesday, the official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported Thursday.

朝鲜劳动党总书记、国务委员长金正恩在观摩下水仪式时提出严厉指责，称这是“既不可有、又不可接受的重大事故、犯罪行为”。

报道说，驱逐舰“下水过程中，因指挥不熟、操作不慎，没能保障底盘移动平行度。结果，船尾部分的下水滑板先脱离搁浅，部分区段船底被破孔导致船舰失衡，船首部分未被脱离船台”。

金正恩说，这起事故“完全由做事不慎、不负责任和不科学的经验主义所造成”，损害了朝鲜的尊严与自尊心。事故责任完全在于劳动党中央委员会军需工业部、中央船舶设计研究所等相关单位和清津造船厂有关人员。

During the launching ceremony at the Chongjin Shipyard, the launch slide of the stern has departed first and stranded as the flatcar failed to move in parallel, and some sections of the warship's bottom crushed to destroy the balance of the warship and the bow could not leave the shipway, said the report, attributing the accident to "the inexperienced command and operational carelessness."

Kim Jong-un, general secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK) and president of the state Affairs of the DPRK, made a stern assessment after he watched the whole course of the accident, calling it "a serious accident and criminal act caused by absolute carelessness, irresponsibility and unscientific empiricism which is out of the bounds of possibility and could not be tolerated."

金正恩说，将在下月召开的劳动党中央委员会全会上对这一不负责任的严重错误进行立案审查。

金正恩强调：“尽快修复驱逐舰是直接关乎国家权威的政治问题，而非单纯的业务性问题。”他要求，在下月全会召开前“无条件”完成修复工作。

The accident "brought the dignity and self-respect of our state to a collapse in a moment," Kim was quoted as saying, adding the irresponsible errors of the relevant officials would have to be dealt with at the plenary meeting of the WPK Central Committee to be convened next month.

An immediate restoration of the destroyer, he said, is "not merely a practical issue, but a political issue directly related to the authority of the state" and should be completed unconditionally before the June Plenary Meeting of the Party Central Committee.

报道还说，金正恩就事故调查组工作作了重要指示。
