US seizes North Korean coal ship for violating sanctions
The US says it has seized a North Korean cargo ship, accusing it of violating international sanctions.
The justice department said the ship was used to transport coal, North Korea’s largest export but subject to a UN export ban.
The vessel was initially impounded in Indonesia in April 2018.
It is the first time the US has seized a North Korean ship for breaching sanctions and comes amid worsening relations between the two.

North Korea has carried out two weapons tests in the space of the past week in what is widely seen as an attempt to increase pressure on the US over its failure to make concessions.
