The Current Sitrep:

"The United States has slapped a new round of sanctions on North Korea, singling out a pair of North Korean officials who are considered key to their country’s development of ballistic missiles.

Kim Jong Sik, a long-time rocket scientist, and Ri Pyong Chol, a former senior air force commander, both of whom appear to be close with leader Kim Jong Un, were named, meaning that any assets the two hold in the United States can be seized and banks are banned from transactions with them involving U.S. dollars."
