EUROPEAN UNION: The EU has slapped more sanctions on North Korea over its continued efforts to develop ballistic and nuclear missiles and support for Russia.

The European Council announced today that nine additional individuals and entities will be hit by asset freezes and travel bans. No names were provided.

The decision brings the number of North Koreans hit by EU sanctions to 77 and the number of entities, which are often companies or organisations, to 20.
