Kim Yo Jong, the powerful sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, has rebuked claims from the South Korean government that Pyongyang was leaving room for more “communication” following an incident involving drones on the border between both countries.

Kim, who is a high-ranking member of North Korea’s ruling Workers’ Party, said the South had committed a “grave provocation by infringing upon the sovereignty” of the North when it allegedly sent drones over the border in September and this month.
