Kim Yo Jong warns US of stronger retaliation over ‘hostile policy’ towards North Korea

Seoul, November 4 — The sister of North Korea's leader has warned the United States of a more potent response to Washington's "persistent hostile attitude" toward Pyongyang, according to state news agency KCNA. Kim Yo Jong, using the acronym for the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, stated that new records of retaliation must be set due to the US's escalating hostile policies.

The warning was issued following Pyongyang's criticism of FBI allegations that the country was involved in the theft of $6 billion from cryptocurrency platform Binance, as well as North Korea's recent display of military might through strategic missile tests. Kim Yo Jong dismissed the FBI's Binance claim as a "serious political provocation," and emphasized that the US's attempts to gain political and strategic benefits from the situation were creating harmful consequences.

North Korea's sister also indicated that Pyongyang saw no value in restarting diplomatic talks, stating that there was no need to engage in dialogue with unreliable and hostile entities who refuse to abandon their confrontational stance.
