Treasury also sanctioned four China-based North Koreans. Treasury identified one of the individuals as a Russian-based North Korean named Choe Myong Hyon, who it alleges had procured telecommunications-related equipment for North Korean companies involved in weapons programs. He said North Korea’s “latest missile launches are further evidence that it continues to advance prohibited programs despite the international community’s calls for diplomacy and denuclearization.” The sanctions, following six ballistic missile launches since last September, target North Korea’s “continued use of overseas representatives” to help produce its weapons, Brian Nelson, a Treasury terrorism and financial intelligence official, said in a statement. Treasury Department imposed sanctions Wednesday on five North Koreans it alleges are responsible for securing goods for Pyongyang’s weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missile programs.
