Japan said on Friday it was freezing the assets of four Russian organisations, three Russian individuals and six North Korean individuals for involvement in North Korea's weapons projects, according to a statement from the foreign ministry.

North Korea late last month tested a huge new intercontinental missile, prompting the United States to push for "updating" and strengthening United Nations sanctions on North Korea.
