China Daily | Updated: 2009-07-18 08:10

UNITED NATIONS: The UN Security Council on Thursday expanded the list of Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) bodies and individuals under sanctions for nuclear and missile activities, adding its atomic energy agency and two of its top officials.

Altogether, the council's DPRK sanctions committee clamped five new organizations and five people under asset freezes and travel bans, and banned the import into the DPRK of two weapons-related materials.

Announcement of the list followed a month of committee haggling after the Security Council expanded UN sanctions against the DPRK in a June 12 resolution that responded to a nuclear test Pyongyang carried out on May 25.
