Regime destroy oil wells in Myaing Township, cutting resistance profits and jobs

The oilfield had served as a vital source of income for local resistance forces since it was seized in 2024, but is now being systematically destroyed. In Myaing Township, Magway Region, central Myanmar, the military regime is destroying oilfield infrastructure, cutting off revenue for resistance forces while also eliminating employment opportunities for local residents. The oilfield had been a source of funding for anti-military regime activities, with local residents engaged in extraction and a portion of the profits flowing to resistance forces. However, these activities are now facing difficulties due to the regime's destruction efforts. According to local residents, the military regime is planting explosives in the oil wells and destroying them. This has made extraction activities impossible and resulted in many residents losing their jobs. The military regime is believed to be pursuing such infrastructure destruction as a tactic to cut off the financial resources of resistance forces. However, this is also severely impacting the local economy and further exacerbating the hardships faced by residents.
