China and Russia vetoed on Thursday a US-led push to impose more United Nations sanctions on North Korea over its renewed ballistic missile launches.

The remaining 13 council members all voted in favour of the US-drafted resolution that proposed banning tobacco and oil exports to North Korea, whose leader Kim Jong Un is a chain smoker.

It was the latest in a string of ballistic missile launches this year, which are banned by the Security Council. While they have delayed some action behind closed doors in the Security Council’s North Korea sanctions committee, the vote on the resolution on Thursday was the first time they have publicly broken unanimity.

China has also been urging the United States to take action to entice Pyongyang to resume talks that have been stalled since 2019, after three failed summits between Kim and then-US President Donald Trump.
