North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's powerful sister condemned upcoming joint military drills by South Korea, the United States and Japan as a "reckless show of strength" that would bring "bad results," state-run media said Sunday.

Seoul and Washington, which stations around 28,500 troops in South Korea, will also stage a tabletop military exercise, aimed at integrating their military assets.
