The powerful sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un accused the United States of escalating regional tensions through frequent military drills and warned of a "more offensive" response from Pyongyang, according to a statement published by state media Friday.
"The present situation, in which new records are set in terms of practical action hostile toward the DPRK, stresses the need to break records in our responsive action, proportional or more offensive in its nature," the KCNA news agency quoted Kim Yo Jong as saying, using North Korea's official name, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
