South Korea is to suspend operations at a jointly-run industrial park in North Korea following the North’s recent rocket launch and nuclear test.
Seoul said all operations at the complex would halt, to stop the North using its investment “to fund its nuclear and missile development”.
Kaesong is one of the last points of co-operation between the two Koreas and a key source of revenue for Pyongyang.
It came as Japan imposed new sanctions against the North following the launch.
