Seoul to review new unilateral sanctions against N. Korea: Blue House

South Korean president says test could lead to "fundamental change" in East Asia

South Korea may adopt unilateral measures against North Korea in response to Friday’s second intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), President Moon Jae-in said today.

Quoted by Blue House spokesperson Yoon Young-chan to a press briefing, the President said the test, which North Korea has said was of the Hwasong-14 ICBM, could represent a “fundamental change” in northeast Asia’s “security framework.”

“If necessary, [I] called for [the government] to review the plan on our unilateral sanctions against South Korea,” Moon reportedly said.

“I hope [the government] will review strong and practical measures so that the firm response won’t be just words (without action)
