"In the present reality when new records are being set in the implementation of the US hostile policy toward the DPRK, it is natural that new records should be created in our reflective counteraction," Kim Yo Jong was quoted as saying by KCNA, using the acronym for the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
The statement comes soon after Pyongyang blasted the FBI's allegations that it was behind the theft of US$6 billion from cryptocurrency platform Binance, as it test-fired strategic cruise missiles in a new display of its weapons capabilities.
