The US on Wednesday issued a ban prohibiting its

citizens from travelling to the DPRK from September 1, the State

Department said.

The travel ban came after the death

of American university student Otto Warmbier who died after being

released from 18-months in detention in the country.

People

who are currently in the DPRK on a US passport should depart North

Korea before the travel restriction enters into effect on September 1,

according to the travel alert of the State Department.
