Libya's Largest Oil Refinery Under Drone Threat
The Zawiya refinery in Libya, the largest oil refinery in the country, has experienced repeated drone attacks over Sunday and Monday. The assaults targeted oil facilities and fuel tanks, leading to fires and significant damage, thereby putting refining operations at risk and threatening the closure of the plant if the attacks continue—especially since the Ras Lanuf refinery has ceased operations. These attacks come at a sensitive time, as the refinery produces around 120,000 barrels per day and is connected to the Sharara oil field, which pumps 300,000 barrels per day, putting Libya's oil supplies at stake. No group has claimed responsibility for the attacks so far, and the National Oil Corporation has announced it will declare a state of force majeure if the attacks persist, calling on relevant authorities to immediately investigate the incidents.
