On Monday (local time), the UN Security Council unanimously adopted Resolution 2375 that includes a freeze on its imports of crude oil at the current levels of 4 million barrels a year and a cap on imports of refined petroleum products at 2 million barrels annually.
The move came after the North conducted its sixth nuclear test on Sept. 3.
Member states will have to submit their plans on how to implement the latest UNSC resolution within three months of its approval. (Yonhap)
