German media on Tuesday reported that as part of government plans to increase sanctions against North Korea, officials are to ban the operation of a popular tourist hostel at the Asian country’s Berlin embassy.

North Korean representatives are also often under observation due to concerns that they may try to procure materials for their country’s nuclear programme, SZ reports.
