Libyan Oil Ministry confirms tank targeting at Zawiya refinery
The National Oil Corporation of Libya has announced a direct attack on the oil tank inside the Zawiya oil refinery, following a strong explosion that caused a fire in one of the refinery's tanks. The refinery, which is the largest processing facility in the country with a refining capacity of up to 120,000 barrels per day, has a history of security incidents and hostile activities. Previously, the facility experienced drone incursions last year, as well as fires and damage resulting from attacks. No responsible party has been identified, nor is there any clear evidence linking the recent incidents. However, this event reflects the ongoing risks threatening vital oil installations in Libya, amidst warnings of escalating hostilities and their potential impact on fuel supplies in the region.
