NEW YORK - The UN Security Council voted unanimously on Saturday in New York to impose its toughest sanctions so far on North Korea. "These sanctions will cut deep and in doing so will give the North Korean leadership a taste of the deprivation they have chosen to inflict on the North Korean people," Haley told the Security Council after the vote. "Military misadventures are liable to cause a disaster for regional and global stability," Nebenzia told the Security Council following the vote. Russia and China have advocated a freeze-for-freeze approach, whereby the US and South Korea would halt their military exercises and North Korea would do the same. This is the eighth Security Council resolution to target Pyongyang for its missile tests since 2006, with the last round of strengthened sanctions passed in June.
