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.
