The U.S. has slapped sanctions on five entities linked to Russia and one individual for facilitating illicit transactions between Moscow and Pyongyang in a bid to thwart their financial cooperation.
The new sanctions target networks that fund North Korea's weapons of mass destruction and missile programs, which also support Russia's war in Ukraine, the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) said in a statement Thursday.
