US and allies target North Korea with new sanctions over spy satellite launch
The US and its allies have launched a new wave of sanctions against North Korea over its launch of a controversial spy satellite, which Kim Jong-un claims to be using to spy on the White House and sensitive US military sites.
The fresh bout of sanctions comes amid heightened tensions on the Korean peninsular over last week’s satellite launch, which contravened UN Security Council resolutions due to its use of ballistic missile technology.
