Kim Jong-un's sister threatens US with Pacific 'firing range' as North Korea launches missiles

Kim Yo-jong, sister of the North Korean leader and vice department director of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, warned Washington that Pyongyang would react to any "direct or indirect threat".

Kim Jong-un’’s sister, Kim Yo-jong, warned against the increased presence of US strategic assets on the Korean peninsula.

“We are carefully examining the influence it would exert on the security of our state,” she said in a statement reported by state media “The frequency of using the Pacific as our firing range depends upon the US forces’ action character.”

Japan's Defence Ministry has already confirmed that North Korea had fired two more ballistic missiles towards Japanese waters.
