The United Nations Security Council unanimously approved new sanctions against North Korea.
On Friday morning the council voted to impose new economic and energy restrictions on the rogue regime in response to its latest missile test.

Under the new sanctions, North Korea will see a 90 percent decrease in imported fuels and a set back in the industrial sector.
All member nations are now prohibited from exporting industrial equipment and metals to Pyongyang.
North Korea will also lose income from its workers abroad since the resolution orders them to return home.
The last round of sanctions were passed by the council in September.
