Myanmar's military leadership should be held accountable for the atrocities being carried out against Myanmar's Rohingya Muslims, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said Wednesday.

But he did not commit the U.S. to action against the Myanmar military and indicated that it is still unclear exactly who is to blame. He said that news reports coming out of the region "tear your heart out."

"If these reports are true, someone is going to be held to account for that," Tillerson said during a speech at the Center for Strategic and International Studies Wednesday. He said the U.S. is "extraordinarily concerned" about the situation, which he called a gross abuse of the human rights.
