Kim’s sister warns N. Korea ready to act against US, South

13 Sept 14:04 Key points summarised by AI

Kim Yo Jong, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's influential sister, issued a stern warning that North Korea is prepared for "quick, overwhelming action" against the United States and South Korea.
This threat comes as the U.S. and South Korea expand their military drills, including a recent flyover of a nuclear-capable B-52 bomber and plans to revive their largest field exercises.
North Korea views these joint military exercises as invasion rehearsals, often responding with missile tests, and its Foreign Ministry labeled the B-52 flyover a "reckless provocation."
Kim Yo Jong emphasized that continued U.S.-South Korean military moves provide conditions for North Korea to be "forced to do something to cope with them."
She also stated that North Korea would consider any U.S. attempt to intercept a North Korean ICBM as a declaration of war, having previously threatened to turn the Pacific into a firing range.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
