Belarus has frozen a local bank account found to have violated the sanctions imposed under a resolution that the UN Security Council adopted in the wake of North Korea's nuclear test earlier this year, a foreign media report said Friday.

This marked the first move of its kind confirmed after the Resolution 2270 was adopted in March, according to the Voice of America.

The report quoted a foreign ministry spokesman of Belarus as saying that one of its banks suspended an account and has barred it from being used as it violated the UNSC sanctions. He, however, did not provide detailed information on who owns the account in question.

The spokesman noted that Minsk will cooperate as a UN member country if a request for more information is made, the report said.

The latest UNSC move is deemed to be the toughest ever implemented to punish the North for its nuclear provocation.

Under the resolution, states are required to freeze bank accounts related to the North Korean regime and its efforts to develop weapons of mass destruction, a move aimed at tightening the squeeze on money flowing into the reclusive country.
