Washington: United States on Wednesday gave sanctions six North Korea, one Russian and the entity said to be responsible for buying goods for North Korean weapons program, a step that followed a series of North Korean missile launches, including the last two weeks.
The US Ministry of Finance said these steps were in line with America’s efforts to prevent the progress of North Korean mass destruction weapons (WMD) and ballistic missile programs “and block efforts by Pyongyang to breed related technology.” It was said to participate in the launch of North Korea’s ballistic missiles since September 2021, each of which was said to be violated by several UN Security Council resolutions.
In a statement, under the Secretary of Treasury for terrorism and financial intelligence Brian Nelson said the movement was targeting “the use of sustainable foreign representatives to illegally get items for weapons.” He said the launch of North Korea’s latest missile was “further evidence that he continued to advance programs that were prohibited even though there was an international community call for diplomacy and denuclearization.” North Korean leader Kim Jong United Nations asked to increase his country’s strategic military forces when he observed the hypersonic missile exam on Tuesday, the word media of North Korea.
The second test of “hypersonic missiles” in less than a week underlined the new year’s oath Kim to increase the military with the latest technology at the time of talks with South Korea and the United States stopped.
