US imposes fresh sanctions on Myanmar
The United States yesterday announced further sanctions against Myanmar, targeting people and entities tied to Myanmar's military as Washington seeks to increase pressure on the ruling junta following the 2021 coup.
The US Treasury Department in a statement said it imposed sanctions on two people and six entities connected to Myanmar's military that Washington accused of enabling its continuing atrocities, including through the import, storage and distribution of jet fuel to the military.
Since a junta seized power in February 2021, Myanmar has been plunged into chaos, with a resistance movement fighting the military on multiple fronts following a bloody crackdown on opponents.
