利比亚西部扎维亚炼油厂周一遭无人机袭击,一座汽油储罐被击中随即起火,火势持续燃烧至周二早晨[1]。被击中的储罐容量为450万升燃料,该炼油厂位于首都的黎波里西部约47公里处[1]。无人机还在附近关键油罐周围进行了攻击,但未造成伤亡或损害[1]。
同一天,利比亚东部城市班加西赛伊达·阿伊莎社区发生汽车炸弹爆炸[1]。爆炸导致哈利法·哈夫塔尔部队军事情报主管法兹·曼苏里少将身亡[1]。此前周末也曾发生过无人机袭击扎维亚油气设施的燃料罐和海水淡化厂的事件,这些攻击是利比亚油气设施近期遭受的一系列打击[1]。
A drone attack struck Libya's Zawiya refinery on Monday, hitting a gasoline storage tank and triggering a massive blaze that burned through the night into Tuesday morning [1]. The facility, located approximately 47 kilometers west of Tripoli, sustained damage to a tank with a capacity of 4.5 million liters of fuel [1]. A second drone strike targeted a nearby critical oil tank but caused no casualties or damage [1].
The attack on the refinery was part of a broader wave of violence in Libya that day. In the eastern city of Benghazi, a car bomb explosion killed Major General Fawzy al-Mansouri, the military intelligence chief of forces led by Khalifa Haftar, in the Saida Aisha neighborhood [1]. These incidents represent the latest in a series of attacks on Libya's oil and gas infrastructure [1]. Over the weekend, drone strikes had previously targeted fuel tanks and a desalination facility at the same Zawiya oil and gas complex [1].
