— "Treasury Department has blocked US assets and transactions with 10 current or former military officials, as well as three military-linked companies.
The United States on Thursday announced sanctions on the leaders of Myanmar’s junta and several gem companies, and warned it would act further if the military uses violence against protesters.

A day after President Joe Biden previewed the sanctions, the Treasury Department said on February 11 it was blocking any US assets and transactions with 10 current or former military officials held responsible for the February 1 coup.

The targets include Senior General Min Aung Hlaing, the new junta chief, who already was under US sanctions over the brutal campaign against the Rohingya."
