North Korean Leader's Sister Claims Successful Defense Against US Spy Plane

Kim Yo Jong, the powerful sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, claimed that North Korean warplanes repelled a U.S. spy plane that flew over its exclusive economic zone. She warned of "shocking" consequences if the U.S. continues reconnaissance activities in the area. The U.S. and South Korean militaries have not responded to the allegations. Tensions on the Korean Peninsula have been escalating as North Korea conducts weapon tests and the U.S.-South Korea joint military exercises continue.
