The U.N. imposed new sanctions against North Korea on Thursday, which take immediate effect and are to be carried out by all of the U.N.’s 192 member nations. North Korea will now face travel bans and a freeze on the financial assets against the officials, companies and state agency. Nations were also instructed to refrain from supplying North Korea with certain types of materials used in ballistic missile parts.
