The United States on Friday issued a fresh round of North Korea-related sanctions, designating a Russian individual and three entities, including a Moscow-based bank and a Chinese trade company.

The U.S. Treasury Department, in a statement on its website, named the Russian Commercial Bank Agrosoyuz, Pyongyang-based Korea Ungum Corp and Chinese-based Dandong Zhongsheng Industry & Trade Co Ltd, which it said was linked to North Korea's Foreign Trade Bank. It also designated Jong Won Ri of Moscow.
