flag U.S. sanctions a North Korea-Myanmar arms network over bomb and guidance kit sales since Myanmar's 2021 coup.

flag The U.S. imposed sanctions on a network linking North Korea and Myanmar’s military junta, targeting Royal Shune Lei Company Limited and several individuals for facilitating arms sales, including bombs and guidance kits, to Myanmar’s military since its 2021 coup. flag The move, led by the Treasury and State Departments, aims to disrupt funding for North Korea’s illicit weapons programs, which the U.S. says threaten national security and regional stability. flag Sanctioned parties include Myanmar-based company officials, a Beijing-based North Korean representative of KOMID—the primary arms exporter for North Korea—and a North Korean intelligence-linked individual accused of money laundering across Southeast Asia. flag The action continues U.S. efforts to curb military cooperation between North Korea and repressive regimes.
