North Korea has denied claims that it was behind the record $6.3bn (£4.7bn) hack of cryptocurrency exchange Binance, calling the allegations an "absurd rhetoric".

Kim Yo-jong, one of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea's top officials and the sister of leader Kim Jong Un, said in a statement on Tuesday that the accusations are another "sinister attempt" by the US to damage the country's public image.
