  "summary": "North Korea fired a projectile toward the Sea of Japan on Wednesday, according to the South Korean military, as reported by The Mainichi.\n\nKim Yo Jong, a director of North Korea’s ruling party and sister of Kim Jong Un, issued a statement through the KCNA denying FBI allegations that North Korea was responsible for the theft of more than $6 billion in crypto assets from Binance. Kim Yo Jong stated that the US accusations are an extension of a hostile policy toward the DPRK and accused Washington of attempting to gain political and strategic profit from the case.\n\nAccording to Hindustan Times - World News, Kim Yo Jong expressed that there is no need for dialogue with Washington, despite speculation regarding a potential summit between Kim Jong Un and President Donald Trump later this month. She also criticized US demands for denuclearization, joint military drills between the US and South Korea, and a US State Department report on global human trafficking. Free Malaysia Today reported that Kim Yo Jong warned North Korea would mount a stronger response to the \"invariable hostile policy\" of the United States.",
