JAKARTA - Kim Yo-jong, sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un warned the United States (US) to stop the foolish act of provoking North Korea (DPRK), saying the dream of stopping her country includes disarming Pyongyang, state news agency KCNA reported.

His remarks came after US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said Washington was concerned North Korea might test another intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), following its launch on the east coast last week.

"The US must stop its foolish act of provoking the DPRK even at the expense of endangering its security," Kim said in a statement carried by KCNA, as quoted by Reuters, July 18.

Furthermore, he criticized US plans to send a missile submarine armed with a ballistic missile with a nuclear warhead to South Korea, saying such a move would only push Pyongyang away from the negotiating table.

North Korea's ruling Kim also rejected US calls for unconditional talks, saying Washington was wrong if Pyongyang's nuclear disarmament was possible.

"It is a nightmare for the US to think they can halt the DRDK's advance and, furthermore, achieve irreversible disarmament through a temporary suspension of joint military exercises, a halt to the deployment of strategic assets, and a reversible lifting of sanctions," he said. women born on September 26.

North Korea has in recent days accused American spy planes of flying over its exclusive economic zone, condemned the recent visit of an American nuclear-powered cruise missile submarine to South Korea, vowing to take measured steps in response.
