North Korea's Sister Vows Second Spy Satellite Launch Despite UN Meeting Criticism.

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 convening an emergency meeting over the launch, which violated council resolutions banning the North from performing any launch using ballistic technology. Kim Yo Jong called the UN council "a political appendage" of the United States and accused it of being "discriminative and rude." North Korea's attempt to acquire a spy satellite is a legitimate step to respond to military threats posed by the US and its allies, she said.
