UN imposes new sanctions on North Korea

North Korea will face new sanctions. The UN Security Council has overwhelmingly approved new measures aimed at hitting the communist state economy.

The resolution, drafted as punishment for Penian's missile programme, bans exports and limits investments in the isolated Asian country.

$1 billion a year is expected to lower the Korean-norse trade balance from these sanctions. Recent months' missile tests prompted Asian neighbours and the United States to draft this new resolution.

North Korea claims there are already rockets that can support to America, yet experts suspect their ability to strike with accuracy.
