Ukrainian drones hit Zawiya oil plant
The attack on the Zawiya Oil Complex in Libya has brought renewed attention to the use of foreign drones, particularly the Ukrainian-made "FPV" models, by armed groups aimed at targeting vital oil facilities. The assault resulted in the destruction of a power station and damaged a tank holding approximately 13 million liters of gasoline, leading to a fire that burned for several days and caused significant environmental and economic damage. Estimates indicate that factions loyal to the Head of the Government of National Unity, Abdulhamid Dbeibah, are utilizing these drones, as Dbeibah previously purchased drones from Ukraine. Incidents of crashes involving this type of drone, including the death of a 7-year-old girl, have contributed to rising tensions and related events. The United States has called for an investigation into the attack, amid ongoing confusion about who owns and operates these drones within the country, and how they might impact the security of Libya’s oil facilities and infrastructure.
