North Korea's Sister Vows Second Spy Satellite Launch Despite UN Meeting Criticism.

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 UN Security Council for being "discriminative and rude" and called it a "political appendage" of the US. 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 US and its allies. North Korea has carried out more than 100 missile tests since the start of 2022, and experts say Kim would want to use his modernized weapons arsenal to wrest concessions from Washington and its partners in future diplomacy.
