The Ministry of Human Rights (MOHR) of Myanmar's opposition National Unity Government (NUG) has renewed calls for international sanctions on jet fuel and financial resources reaching the military junta, as new tallies from the ministry show military attacks have killed 3,742 civilians across Sagaing, Mandalay and Magway regions since the 2021 coup attempt — even as aviation fuel shipments to the military continue reaching Myanmar through disguised trade routes.
According to MOHR, the killings occurred during raids, airstrikes and drone attacks the military has carried out since seizing power from Aung San Suu Kyi's elected government on 1 February 2021, a takeover that triggered nationwide armed resistance under the Spring Revolution. The three regions, part of Myanmar's central dry zone, have been among the hardest-hit areas of the conflict; MOHR says the regime has treated them as a single zone of operations in an effort to crush the unyielding resistance movement that emerged there.
