The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) on Monday condemned the latest United Nations sanctions imposed against it over its weapons programs, saying it would not negotiate over its nuclear arms while it was threatened by the US, according to its official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).

The UN Security Council on Saturday unanimously adopted new sanctions on the DPRK in response to its recent missile tests. It bans the exports of seafood and minerals such as coal, iron, iron ore, lead and lead ore.
