North Korea denies FBI's $6 billion Binance hack claim, test-fires missiles

North Korea has condemned FBI allegations that it orchestrated a $6 billion theft from cryptocurrency platform Binance, while simultaneously test-firing strategic cruise missiles in a display of military capability. Kim Yo Jong, sister of leader Kim Jong Un, dismissed the FBI's claim as a "grave political provocation" and "absurd rhetoric," following the bureau's Saturday statement blaming a North Korea-affiliated hacking group called TraderTraitor for the hack. Experts suggest the theft could be the largest in cryptocurrency history, potentially equaling nearly a quarter of North Korea's estimated annual GDP, with the denial aimed at preserving channels for laundering the stolen funds.
