"The UN Security Council has approved a resolution toughening sanctions on North Korea over its nuclear and missile programme.
The Security Council unanimously adopted on Saturday the US-led resolution, which bans mineral and seafood exports worth more than $1bn.
The measures would be the seventh set of UN sanctions imposed on North Korea since it first carried out a nuclear test in 2006.
"Today the full Security Council has come together to put the North Korean dictator on notice," Nikki Haley, the US ambassador to the UN, said after the vote. "And this time, the council has matched its actions and words."
The resolution bans North Korean exports of coal, iron, iron ore, lead, lead ore and seafood.
It also prohibits countries from increasing the current numbers of North Korean labourers working abroad, bans new joint ventures with North Korea and any new investment in current joint ventures."
