The US Treasury Department said it had imposed sanctions on two China-based North Korean nationals it accused of being involved in the procurement of equipment in support of the country's ballistic missile program
two short-range missiles off its east coast on Thursday, less than an hour after Pyongyang warned of an "inevitable" response to military drills staged earlier in the day by South Korean and U.S. troops.
"The United States is committed to targeting the regime’s illicit procurement networks that feed its weapons programs," the Treasury's Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence, Brian Nelson, said in the statement. The Treasury in the statement said North Korea continues to use a network of representatives abroad, including in China and Iran, to illicitly import components necessary for its weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missile programs.
