利比亚国家石油公司8月12日报告，该国最大的扎维亚炼油厂遭无人机攻击[1]。一个储有约450万升汽油的储罐在攻击中着火并随后坍塌，火势已被控制[1]。同日早间，两架无人机还对扎维亚电站实施了攻击[1]。利比亚总理阿卜杜勒哈米德·德贝巴在声明中谴责这类攻击属于"有组织和危险的行为"[1]。
此外，利比亚国民军军事情报负责人法乌齐·曼苏里于周一晚在贝尼加济遭汽车炸弹袭击身亡[1]。这一系列攻击发生之际，利比亚石油部门面临严重困难——2024年因中央银行控制权争端，石油出口下降超过50%[1]。虽然该国6月产量曾达到144万桶/天，为2013年以来最高水平，但仍远低于200万桶/天的生产目标[1]。
Libya's state oil company reported on August 12 that the Zawiya refinery came under drone attack [1]. A storage tank holding approximately 4.5 million liters of gasoline caught fire and collapsed during the assault, though the resulting blaze was subsequently brought under control [1]. Earlier that same morning, two unmanned aircraft also targeted the Zawiya power station [1].
Prime Minister Abdulhamid Dabaiba characterized the attack as "organized and dangerous behavior" in an official statement [1]. The incident compounds Libya's ongoing energy sector challenges; oil exports have declined by more than 50 percent in 2024 due to disputes over central bank control [1]. While June production reached 1.44 million barrels per day—the highest level since 2013—this remains substantially below the nation's target of 2 million barrels daily [1].
In a separate security incident, Fawzi Mansouri, the military intelligence chief of the Libyan National Army, was killed in a car bombing in Benghazi on Monday evening [1].
