Kim Yo-jong, the sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, on Tuesday slammed the US and South Korea over their joint military drills, vowing to build up Pyongyang’s nuclear weapons in response.


In a statement carried by Pyongyang’s official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), Kim Yo-Jong said, “They (exercises) are the most vivid expression of the US hostile policy, designed to stifle our state by force, and an unwelcoming act of self-destruction for which a dear price should be paid as they threaten the safety of our people and further imperil the situation on the Korean Peninsula.



“We will put more spur to further increasing the deterrent of absolute capacity to cope with the ever-growing military threats from the US, i.e. the national defence capabilities and powerful pre-emptive strike for rapidly countering any military actions against us.”
