  "summary": "North Korea has rejected U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres' recent call for resuming inter-Korean dialogue to ease tensions following a September mine blast near the border. The blast, blamed on mines planted by North Korea, wounded three South Korean soldiers, two of them seriously. Kim Yo-jong, the powerful sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, made the rejection in a statement carried by the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA). She accused Guterres of being prejudiced and irresponsible, stating that he had taken a \"prejudiced and irresponsible attitude\" by echoing South Korea's \"unilateral and provocative sophism.\"",
