UNITED NATIONS, United States - The UN Security Council on Friday put North Korea's suspected spy chief, 13 other Pyongyang officials and four entities on a sanctions blacklist, hitting them with a global travel ban and an assets freeze.
The council unanimously adopted a US-drafted resolution imposing the new targeted sanctions in response to a series of ballistic missile tests this year that are banned under UN resolutions.
