The move is in response to North Korea’s attempted launch of a spy satellite on August 24.
The Japanese government has announced it will impose sanctions against three groups and four individuals for supporting North Korea’s missile and nuclear development programme.
The additional sanctions, approved during Friday’s cabinet meeting, freeze the assets of the three North Korea-based hacker groups linked to cyber attacks – Andariel, BlueNoroff and Korea Expo Joint Venture – as well as four individuals, three of them based in China, according to a Foreign Ministry statement.
Japan, the United States and South Korea have been stepping up their strategic three-way cooperation in the Indo-Pacific region to jointly deal with their shared concern of growing threats of North Korea and China.
