EU warns of additional sanctions against North Korea

European Union warned it may consider additional sanctions against North Korea after it carried out an intercontinental ballistic missile. Last month, the EU expanded its sanctions blacklist after North Korea launched a volley of surface-to-ship cruise missiles off its east coast. 

The EU's external affairs arm said in a statement yesterday that the bloc expected North Korea to abide by UN resolutions and halt all work on its nuclear and missile programmes.
