Seoul’s foreign ministry said sanctions were slapped on 7 North Korean individuals and 2 Russian vessels.
North Korean army soldiers head to cross the Military Demarcation Line inside the Demilitarized Zone to inspect the dismantled South Korean guard post.
The Russian vessels had been carrying a large quantity of containers between Russia and North Korea transporting military supplies in a clear violation of the United Nations Security Council resolutions, the ministry said in a statement. “Russia’s procurement of arms from North Korea violates the relevant UN resolutions that completely prohibit the transfer of arms and related materials to and from North Korea,” Japan’s Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi told a news conference.
Five other North Koreans helped raise funds to support Pyongyang’s development of nuclear and missile programmes by earning foreign currency as IT workers, South Korea’s statement said.
