North Korean leader's sister vows second spy satellite launch despite UN criticism.

TL;DR Summary
Kim Yo Jong, the influential sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, has vowed to push for a second attempt to launch a spy satellite after the first attempt failed. She criticized the UN Security Council for being "discriminative and rude" and called it a "political appendage" of the US. Kim Yo Jong said her country's attempt to acquire a spy satellite is a legitimate step to respond to military threats posed by the US and its allies. North Korea also threatened not to notify the International Maritime Organization of future satellite launches in advance to protest the group's condemnation of North Korean missile tests.
