The United States announced sanctions on two of North Korea’s most prominent officials behind its ballistic missile program on Tuesday, while Russia reiterated an offer to mediate to ease tension between Washington and Pyongyang, Reuters reports.
The new US steps were the latest in a campaign aimed at forcing North to abandon a weapons program aimed at developing nuclear-tipped missiles capable of hitting the United States.
