The Libyan force led by Khalifa Haftar
A drone attack has hit Libya’s Zawiya refinery, triggering a large fire and prompting the NOC to declare a state of emergency. The incident follows multiple strikes on oil facilities amid a protracted split between rival administrations. Officials warn of potential force majeure if attacks continue.
Drones have targeted Zawiya’s water and power infrastructure, destroying a substation and a fuel tank as clashes rise in western Libya. No group has claimed responsibility, while officials warn the attacks threaten GNU stability and fuel supplies.
Libya’s rival administrations have signed an initial election pact, pledging to hold parliamentary and presidential elections under a unified executive within 24 months. The agreement, reached at UNSMIL-hosted talks in Tripoli, requires approval from major institutions within a month or will be adopted nationally as a constitutional document. Skepticism remains about implementation given deep mistrust and disputed authority.
