UN votes for N Korean sanctions

unanimously

The UN Security Council has unanimously voted to impose sanctions on North Korea following recent missile tests.

The resolution demands UN members bar exports and imports of missile-related materials to North Korea and that it halt its ballistic missile programme.

The move comes after North Korea test-fired seven missiles including a long-range Taepodong-2 - believed to be capable of reaching Alaska.
