In the latest escalation of violence against Libya's critical infrastructure, a series of drone attacks have ignited a massive fire at the country's largest operational refinery - the Zawiya refinery. The National Oil Corporation (NOC) has issued a stern warning that it may be forced to declare a state of force majeure and halt operations if such assaults continue. The incident occurred on Monday evening, with tank 402-T belonging to the Brega Oil Company being directly targeted. This tank contained approximately 1.2 million gallons of gasoline, leading to a severe fire that eventually caused the tank's collapse. The attacks follow previous strikes on a water desalination plant and a naphtha reservoir at the refinery over the weekend. Although no immediate claim of responsibility has been made, the NOC has urged authorities to launch an investigation and bring those responsible to justice. Meanwhile, both the Tripoli-based government and a Libyan parliamentary panel have strongly condemned the attacks, emphasizing the importance of protecting oil installations as vital national infrastructure. The ongoing security challenges in war-torn Libya persist despite a 2020 ceasefire, with rival administrations and armed groups continuing to hold influence over various regions.
