Jepun bakal bekukan aset lima pertubuhan Korea Utara

TOKYO: Jepun bakal mengenakan sekatan baharu terhadap Korea Utara dengan membekukan aset lima pertubuhan Korea Utara, lapor Sputnik memetik Ketua Setiausaha Kabinet Jepun Hirokazu Matsuno.

"Korea Utara kerap melakukan ujian peluru berpandu yang jelas mencabuli resolusi Majlis Keselamatan Pertubuhan Bangsa-Bangsa Bersatu dan menimbulkan ancaman kepada keselamatan bukan sahaja negara kita malah rantau ini. Kami mengutuk sekeras-kerasnya tindakan ini," kata Hirokazu.

Sekatan khususnya dikenakan terhadap lima organisasi Korea Utara yang berkaitan dengan pembangunan nuklear dan peluru berpandu. Tarikh bila sekatan akan berkuat kuasa belum dinyatakan.

Pyongyang telah menjalankan lapan ujian peluru berpandu sejak 25 Sept termasuk peluru berpandu balistik jarak sederhana yang merentasi Jepun, meliputi 4,500 kilometer (km) pada ketinggian 1,000 km.

Sejak awal tahun ini Korea Utara sudah menguji 27 peluru berpandu.
