Libya’s state oil champion amid a fractured energy landscape
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.
