U.S. Sanctions Entities and Individuals Providing Financial, Military, and Procurement Support to the DPRK 12/16/2024 04:18 PM EST Matthew Miller, Department Spokesperson HomeOffice of the SpokespersonPress Releases…U.S. Sanctions Entities and Individuals Providing Financial, Military, and Procurement Support to the DPRK hide U.S. Sanctions Entities and Individuals Providing Financial, Military, and Procurement Support to the DPRK Press Statement December 16, 2024 The United States is today designating eleven individuals and eight entities for their actions enabling the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) and its support to Russia.  On October 31, 2024, the DPRK conducted an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) test, the first since December 2023.  Subsequently, on November 5, 2024, the DPRK continued its series of provocations by firing at least seven short-range ballistic missiles off the eastern coast of the peninsula.  These tests reflect the DPRK's increasingly hostile global military posturing and needlessly raise tensions while destabilizing peace and security in the region.  The DPRK has also sent soldiers to Russia, where they have been integrated with Russian forces.  The DPRK has provided Russia with military equipment, munitions, ballistic missile launchers and ballistic missiles.  The DPRK continues to prioritize revenue generation to support the development of its unlawful WMD and ballistic missile programs, using foreign-based workers, state-owned entities, and financial institutions to access the international financial system. Pursuant to E.O. 13382, which targets proliferators of weapons of mass destruction and their means of delivery, the Department of State is designating two individuals and one entity related to the DPRK's unlawful WMD and ballistic missile programs. For more information on State's action, see the Fact Sheet.  The Department of the Treasury actions today were taken pursuant to Executive Order 13382, 13551, 13687, 13810, and 14024.  For more information on today's action, see Treasury's press release.  Tags Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs Bureau of Economic and Business Affairs Diplomacy Diplomatic Security Division for Counter Threat Finance and Sanctions International Security Multilateral Nonproliferation North Korea Office of the Spokesperson Proliferation Sanctions Security Weapons of Mass Destruction Stay connected with the State Department: External links found in this content or on Department of State websites that go to other non-Department websites should not be construed as an endorsement of the views or privacy policies contained therein.  Update your subscriptions, modify your password or email address, or stop subscriptions at any time on your Subscriber Preferences Page.
