  "account": "Seoul - North Korea's powerful sister of the leader, Kim Yo Jong, has warned the United States that her country will respond more forcefully to Washington's consistently hostile actions towards Pyongyang, according to state news agency KCNA. Kim Yo Jong stated, \"In the present reality when new records are being set in the implementation of the US hostile policy toward the DPRK, it is natural that new records should be created in our reflective counteraction.\" This warning followed Pyongyang's allegations against the FBI regarding the theft of $6 billion from cryptocurrency platform Binance, which North Korea demonstrated in a recent display of its weapons capabilities by firing strategic cruise missiles. Kim Yo Jong dismissed the FBI's Binance allegations as a \"grave political provocation.\" Furthermore, she emphasized that Pyongyang sees no point in resuming diplomacy, stating, \"The choice for peace includes dialogue of course, but this is not surely equated with national interests for us.\" North Korea recently tested various weaponry, including drones, a precision-guided torpedo system, and an intermediate-range hypersonic missile.",
