North Korea vows stronger attack capabilities over allied drills

On Tuesday, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's sister said the country would work fast to strengthen its preemptive strike capabilities. This comes in response to South Korea's participation in military exercises with the US.

The powerful sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un ripped South Korea for proceeding with military exercises with the United States that she said are an invasion rehearsal and warned on Tuesday that the North will work faster to strengthen its preemptive strike capabilities. Kim Yo Jong's statement came after South Korean media reported that the allied militaries will begin four days of preliminary training on Tuesday before holding computer-simulated drills on August 16-26.
