US intends to seek new sanctions against the DPRK in the event of a nuclear test

“We will definitely advocate additional sanctions,” RIA Novosti quoted her as saying.

Earlier in the UN Security Council, Russia and China vetoed a US draft resolution to strengthen sanctions against the DPRK.

Prior to this, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, Foreign Minister of the Republic of Korea Pak Chin and Japanese Foreign Minister Yoshimasa Hayashi condemned North Korea's missile launches in a joint statement.
