WHAT HAPPENED
According to Deutsche Welle, explosives‑laden drones struck the Zawiya oil complex in Libya, igniting large fires that quickly spread across the facility. The attack took place this week and marked a serious setback for the country’s biggest oil refinery.
The drones set off a blaze that consumed much of the refinery’s infrastructure. Hours after the explosion, reports emerged of fresh violence in Benghazi, underscoring the ongoing security turmoil in the region. Deutsche Welle did not name the operators of the drones, nor provide casualty figures or details on the damage extent.
Libya’s oil sector is a linchpin of its economy, and repeated attacks on its facilities have long hampered production and fuel exports. The incident adds to a pattern of instability that has plagued the country since the fall of Gaddafi.
