US and partner sanctions target North Korean revenue networks

Washington sanctioned 10 individuals and one entity tied to North Korea, including two Russian nationals, as Pyongyang shows little interest in talks to limit its nuclear program. A separate US action targets a North Korean IT-worker network accused of business fraud and funneling wages to weapons programs; Australia and the EU have also acted this month. The allegations and impact remain to be tested, with no reported Pyongyang response.
