Fifth armed drone strikes Zawia Oil Refinery, igniting diesel tank
The National Oil Corporation NOC reported that a fifth armed drone hit diesel tank 4-4 at the Zawia Oil Refinery, causing a fire. This incident occurred shortly after a fire at petrol tank 402-T was extinguished following 20 hours of firefighting. The NOC stated that attacks on oil assets at the Zawiya Oil Complex are ongoing, specifically targeting fuel tanks. The latest drone strike breached the tank and ignited a fire, which emergency and safety teams contained. This fifth attack followed the resumption of refinery operations after a shutdown caused by previous assaults. The fourth attack earlier on Tuesday targeted diesel tank 2/4, also causing a fire that was contained without casualties. The NOC reassured citizens that fuel supplies remain unaffected, with daily required quantities being met and fuel stocks intact, urging against overcrowding at gas stations.
