利比亚西部城市扎维亚的电力变电站遭无人机袭击并被完全烧毁,造成该市南部大范围停电 [1]。扎维亚距首都的黎波里西部约47公里,人口约25万 [1]。这起事件是该地区能源和石油设施遭连续攻击的最新案例 [1]。
近日扎维亚的能源设施频遭无人机打击。周一,该市炼油厂的燃油罐被无人机袭击,大火持续超过15小时 [1]。周二,电厂再次遭两架无人机袭击,消防系统受损,燃油储存区随之起火 [1]。该电厂产能为1300兆瓦,此次事件导致超过700兆瓦产能丧失 [1]。美国通用电气公司已从该电厂撤出团队,等待"安全条件得到确保" [1]。
目前尚无任何组织声称对这些无人机袭击负责 [1]。利比亚总理德贝巴表示:"我们将找到这次袭击的责任人,问责将是坚定的。没有人会因其地位、身份或影响力而受到保护。" [1]
A power substation in Zawiyah, a city in western Libya approximately 47 kilometers west of the capital Tripoli, was struck and set ablaze by a drone attack, leaving the southern portion of the city without electricity [1]. The substation was completely destroyed in the strike [1]. Zawiyah, home to roughly 250,000 people, has been the target of multiple assaults on energy and petroleum infrastructure in recent days [1].
The attack represents an escalation in a series of strikes against the region's critical facilities [1]. On Monday, a fuel tank at Zawiyah's oil refinery was hit by a drone, with the resulting fire burning for more than 15 hours [1]. The following day, two drones targeted the city's power plant, damaging its firefighting systems and igniting a fuel storage area [1]. The power plant, which has a capacity of 1,300 megawatts, lost more than 700 megawatts of output as a result [1]. Following the incidents, General Electric withdrew its team from the facility until "safety conditions are assured" [1].
Prime Minister Abdulhamid Dbeibah stated that those responsible for the strikes would be held accountable, declaring: "We will find those behind this attack, and accountability will be firm. No one will be protected because of their position, status, or influence" [1]. No organization has claimed responsibility for the drone strikes [1].
