Kim Yo-jong condemns U.S.-led maritime drill, reaffirms nuclear build-up

Kim Yo-jong, North Korean leader's sister, issued a statement denouncing a U.S.-led maritime exercise and reiterated Pyongyang's commitment to expanding its nuclear arsenal. The rhetoric signals continued defiance amid stalled diplomacy, though no new military action is reported. This reinforces the ongoing pattern of North Korean escalation in response to allied drills.
