Sanctions Pressure: North Korea’s ginseng-based “Kumdang-5” is reportedly headed back into Russia, raising fresh sanctions-breach questions. Human Rights Spotlight: An NGO says executions in North Korea have surged since the pandemic, with punishments increasingly tied to ideology and foreign culture.
