Libyan Refinery Under Siege from Drone Attacks

The Libyan oil industry is facing a significant threat from drone attacks, which have raised concerns about the country's oil production stability. The National Oil Corporation (NOC) has announced that it may declare force majeure at the Zawiya refinery if the attacks persist.

The latest attack targeted an oil blending and filling plant, marking the third incident in just a few days. No parties have claimed responsibility for the attacks so far.

The Zawiya refinery, located near Tripoli, is Libya's largest operational refinery and is directly linked to the Sharara oilfield. The refinery produces 120,000 barrels per day.
