WASHINGTON, Aug 22 (KUNA) -- Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said Tuesday that he was "pleased" to see that North Korea has demonstrated "some level of restraint" in regards to its missile launch tests.
"I think it is worth noting that we have had no missile launches or provocative acts from the part of North Korea since the unanimous adoption of the UN Security Council resolution," he said at a press briefing.
Earlier in the day, the US sanctioned 16 Russian and Chinese entities for activities related to the support of North Korea's nuclear and ballistic missile programs. (end)
