North Korea employs unprecedented 'level of spoofing' to avoid sanctions, UN panel finds

North Korea is circumventing sanctions by the United Nations intended to choke the rogue regime, according to a report from the global organization.

The sanctions, approved by the United Nations in December 2017, were designed to cut North Korea’s oil imports and crack down on exports, among other penalties. But Pyongyang “continues to defy Security Council resolutions through a massive increase in illegal ship-to-ship transfers of petroleum products and coal,” a U.N. panel found.
