US sanctions North Koreans, citing ‘ballistic missile’ tests

Al Jazeera  

The US Treasury sanctioned North Korean nationals based in Russia and China following ‘six ballistic missile launches since September’. The United States Department of the Treasury on Wednesday slapped sanctions on five North Koreans for what it said are their roles in procuring goods for the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea’s weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missile-related programmes. The Treasury said in a statement that its actions follow “six ballistic missile launches since September 2021” by North Korea, noting that they “violated multiple United Nations Security Council Resolutions ”. “The DPRK’s latest missile launches are further evidence that it continues to advance prohibited programs despite the international community’s calls for diplomacy and denuclearization.” Among those sanctioned are a Russia-based North Korean national who the Treasury said procured equipment from Russia for North Korea, as well as four China-based North Korean nationals accused of procuring Chinese goods for North Korea’s weapons programmes.
