New Zealand led a multinational naval operation in November to enforce UN sanctions on North Korea, disrupting illicit transfers and reinforcing regional security.
New Zealand’s military strengthened UN sanctions enforcement against North Korea in November through Operation Whio, deploying the HMNZS Aotearoa and a P-8A Poseidon aircraft across 410,000 square kilometers in the East China and Yellow Seas.
The mission disrupted two suspected illicit ship-to-ship transfers, identified multiple vessels of interest, and issued deterrence messages to merchant ships.
The Aotearoa was shadowed by seven Chinese warships, which maintained a safe distance, while supporting allied vessels with at-sea replenishment.
The operation involved cooperation with Canada, France, Japan, Australia, and the U.S., highlighting New Zealand’s commitment to regional security and the rules-based international order.
