North Korea Rejects ‘Gangster-like’ US Criticism Of Failed Satellite Launch
The US is in no position to condemn North Korea for trying to launch a satellite, having sent thousands into orbit itself, the influential sister of leader Kim Jong-un said on Thursday.
Kim Yo-jong told KCNA state media that “the far-fetched logic that only the DPRK should not be allowed to do so… though other countries are doing so, is clearly a gangster-like and wrong one, seriously violating the DPRK’s right to use space and illegally oppressing it”.
US National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby said the attempted launch by Pyongyang was a reason for “major concern,” even if it failed. “Kim Jong-un and his scientists and engineers… continue to develop military capabilities that are a threat not only on the peninsula but to the region,” he explained.
