North Korea May Turn Pacific Into 'Firing Range', Kim Jong-un's Sister Warns

Kim Yo-jong, a top North Korean politician and sister of the country’s leader Kim Jong-un, has issued a dire warning as the United States continues to flex its military muscles near North Korea’s border.
The statement delivered by Kim comes after the United States conducted a joint air exercise with South Korea on Sunday that involved F-35 and F-16 military aircraft, as well as a US B-1 Lancer strategic heavy bomber, and a
separate joint air exercise with Japan that same day.
In response, Kim Yo-jong declared that North Korea is "carefully examining the influence" the presence of US strategic assets in the region "would exert on the security of our state."
"The frequency of using the Pacific as our firing range depends upon the U.S. forces' action character," she said. "We are well aware of the movement of U.S. forces' strategic strike means, (which are) recently getting brisk around the Korean Peninsula."
Apparently in order to punctuate the message, North Korea conducted yet another short-range ballistic missile test,
firing two missiles towards its eastern waters, with both South Korea and Japan promptly condemning this move.
