Washington and Seoul impose sanctions targeting North Korea's military financing. Yesterday, Wednesday, the United States announced sanctions on six individuals and two entities in Russia, China, and the UAE, accusing them of transferring money to North Korean weapons programs.

South Korea, an ally of the U.S., also imposed sanctions on 4 of the six individuals. For years, US-led international sanctions have been unable to stop North Korean's nuclear weapons and missile programs. Many observers and sanctions experts believe the UN system is dying, if not already dead.
