WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The United States imposed fresh North Korea-related sanctions on Friday after U.S. and South Korean officials said Pyongyang had used its largest intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) system in two recent launches.

The sanctions, announced by the U.S. Treasury, target two Russian nationals and three Russian firms it linked to North Korea's procurement activities for its missile programs.
