Press Statement of Kim Yo Jong, Department Director of C.C., WPK

Pyongyang, November 4 (KCNA) -- Kim Yo Jong, department director of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, released the following press statement on November 4:

As already mentioned, the continued hostile signal of the U.S. to our state compels the DPRK to reconsider the U.S. entity in various aspects.

The so-called "cryptocurrency hacking case by the DPRK" is no more than a tip of iceberg that shows the essence of the U.S. hostile policy toward the DPRK.

Recently, the U.S. again called for someone's "denuclearization" at a tripartite diplomatic gathering with Japan and the ROK and has set new records of anti-DPRK hostility day by day in all aspects of denuclearization, human rights, cyber, sanctions and military affairs, evidenced by the staging of joint military drills under various missions, the imposition of unilateral and multilateral sanctions and the publication of "Trafficking in Persons Report".

We do not regard the "Binance" hacking incident as any accidental and sudden case or isolated private scheme, but as an extension of Washington's invariable hostile policy toward the DPRK.

Clearly, the U.S. malicious attempt to get a political and strategic profit by abusing the case is producing a political side effect.

We have already and repeatedly clarified that the U.S. abandonment of its hostile policy toward the DPRK is a major premise and key to solving all problems, and in this context it is needless to say that the U.S. recent act is a clearly retrogressive one.

It is our clear stand that we have no need to sit face to face with such unreliable and hostile persons who refuse to abandon their policy of confrontation while talking about dialogue, prefer war drills and strengthening of military alliance to peace and evade respect for the sovereignty, rights and interests of the other party while preaching about improved relations.

To the hostile signals that the United States continuously sends, we do not know how to respond otherwise.

In the present reality when new records are being set in the implementation of the U.S. hostile policy toward the DPRK, it is natural that new records should be created in our reflective counteraction.

The choice for peace includes dialogue of course, but this is not surely equated with national interests for us. -0-

Press Statement of Kim Yo Jong, Department Director of C.C., WPK

Pyongyang, November 3 (KCNA) -- Kim Yo Jong, department director of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, released the following press statement on November 2:

Recently, the cryptocurrency worth billions of U.S. dollars was stolen at the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange "Binance". As regards this extra-large incident, the U.S. has made a trite provocation of linking it with the Democratic People's Republic of Korea again.

The FBI is trying to brand the DPRK as a "cyber criminal state", claiming that it obtained information that a hacking organization "supported" by the DPRK was involved in the incident.

But the U.S. assertion is an absurd rhetoric and nothing new.

This is not the first time that the U.S. has attempted to spread misunderstanding of the DPRK in the international community, blindly linking the DPRK with the "cyber crime" incidents whenever they occur on an international scale.

Last year, the U.S. also tried to blame the DPRK for the hacking incident at the cryptocurrency exchange called "Bybit".

It is a grave political provocation against the DPRK that the U.S. misleads the international public opinion as if all the cyber crimes in different parts of the world are our deeds.

This is a sinister attempt to damage the international image of the DPRK and undermine its dignity and national prestige and another grave violation of the sovereignty of the DPRK in the new sphere.

It is the consistent policy stand of the DPRK government to resolutely oppose all sorts of malicious acts in cyberspace, the wealth common to the mankind, and resolutely reject any attempt to politicize the cyber issue and use it as a means of interfering in the internal affairs with other countries.

The international community needs to recall once again the fact that as soon as the present U.S. administration took office last year, it announced that it would confiscate illegally stolen cryptocurrency assets and use them as a state's strategic reserve.

If it carefully examines who will get the large amount of the so-called stolen cryptocurrency when the latter is retrieved, it may get a clue about who is behind the hacking incident.

On this occasion, we confirmed Washington's hostile attitude toward the DPRK once again and are closely monitoring a variety of persistent provocations of the U.S. against our state.

We have issues to reconsider in diverse aspects as regards the very unpleasant U.S. hostile attitude. -0-

Rep. Haley Stevens, D-Mich., endorsed Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers on Sunday, a major shakeup in the final stages of a top battleground race that could determine which party controls the Senate.

“Hey, Michigan, as you may have seen, our Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate, Abdul, said that I was no longer welcome in his campaign and that I should stay away,” Stevens said in a video.

“And he’s right, and that’s why I am endorsing Mike Rogers for the United States Senate today,” she said. “I don’t belong in Abdul’s campaign.”

The congresswoman’s announcement marks a whirlwind turnabout from just days ago, when she said she would support her party’s ticket and planned to attend a campaign event on Sunday to support Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed.

But leading up to the rally, Stevens and El-Sayed released dueling critical public statements, prompting concerns from Democrats that the spat was a distraction from what is widely seen as one of the most competitive Senate races.

Stevens had said that she expected El-Sayed to condemn an ad from an outside group that she said was antisemitic. El-Sayed responded, accusing Stevens of being “intent on relitigating a primary that ended three months ago.”

NBC News reported Saturday that El-Sayed’s campaign had asked Stevens to no longer attend campaign events following the dueling statements.

Defence Science Research Institutes of DPRK Test Major Weapon System

Pyongyang, November 1 (KCNA) -- The Missile Administration of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea conducted a test on October 31 to assess adaptation to combat and power of a cluster-bomb warhead to be tipped on tactical ballistic missiles.

Full General Kim Jong Sik, member of the Central Military Commission of the Workers' Party of Korea and first vice department director of the Central Committee of the WPK, oversaw the test.

The Ballistic Missile System Institute and the Warhead Institute of the Missile Administration announced that they confirmed that the Standard Type 2 cluster-bomb warhead is capable of turning into ashes a target area of 12 to 13 hectares with its highest-density power.

The general director of the DPRK Missile Administration said: "We classify the cluster-bomb warheads into four categories according to special and standard purposes. Within this year we will enable units to select and use all those types according to operational aims and specific features of targets."

The Missile Administration said that the test is a part of regular scientific research activities aimed at boosting the power of combat systems. -0-

Discoverable Servers are the most public spaces on Discord, with at least 1,000 members.

Starting November 16, 2026, all Discoverable Servers will have a Server Web Page. These pages may also display summaries of discussions happening in public channels (those visible to everyone in the server), to give a better sense of what people are talking about. Some messages from public channels may show on Server Web Pages and in web search beginning in mid-December 2026. The rollout is gradual, so it may be a few weeks before the first messages start appearing on the web.
