TL;DR Summary

Kim Yo Jong, the influential sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, has vowed to push for a second attempt to launch a spy satellite after the first attempt failed. She criticized the U.N. Security Council for being "discriminative and rude" and accused it of being a "political appendage" of the United States. Kim Yo Jong said her country's attempt to acquire a spy satellite is a legitimate step to respond to military threats posed by the U.S. and its allies. North Korea has been slapped with rounds of U.N. sanctions over its past nuclear and missile tests and satellite launches.
