Libya National Oil Corporation said a tank at its Zawiya refinery, about 40 km west of Tripoli, was struck by a drone on Tuesday — the fifth such attack since Sunday. The strike caused a small fire that firefighters extinguished and the refinery remained operational; a separate attack occurred in the early hours of the same day. NOC said fuel supply was unaffected and daily deliveries to petrol stations continued as planned.
