Kim Yo Jong called US President Joe Biden 'senile' and 'too miscalculating and irresponsibly brave' for his remarks.

"A nuclear attack by North Korea against the United States or its allies or partners is unacceptable and will result at the end of whatever regime were to take such an action," Biden had said earlier this week.
