The United States has imposed sanctions on three senior officials associated with North Korea's weapons programs after North Korea's latest and biggest Intercontinental Ballistic Missile test. This missile was tested by Pyongyang last month. The US Treasury Department named the sanctioned individuals as Jan Il Ho, Yoo Jin, and Kim Su Gil. All of these officials were also designated for sanctions by the European Union in April.

It is known that the new sanctions on the three officials have been imposed by North Korea after the ICBM test on 18 November. The missile was launched this year as a record-breaking spot of more than 60 missiles. The US Treasury Department said in its statement that Jan Il Ho is the deputy director of North Korea's Munitions Industry Department, while Yu Jin serves as its director. And both have played a major role in North Korea's development of weapons of mass destruction.
