flag Myanmar's junta imported 109,000 tonnes of aviation fuel via ghost ships in 2025, fueling deadly air strikes and making it the deadliest year for civilians since the 2021 coup.

flag Amnesty International reports that Myanmar’s military junta has used untraceable "ghost ships" to import over 109,000 tonnes of aviation fuel in 2025—a 69% increase from 2024 and the highest volume since the 2021 coup—enabling intensified air strikes that made 2025 the deadliest year on record for civilians. flag The fuel shipments, delivered by four vessels between mid-2024 and late 2025, involved evasive tactics like disabling tracking systems, changing ship identities, and conducting open-water transfers, mirroring methods used by sanctioned nations. flag Despite U.S. and UK sanctions, the military continues to receive arms from Russia and China, and the group urges a global ban on aviation fuel exports to Myanmar and the withdrawal of all companies involved in the supply chain.
