A power station in the western Libyan city of Zawiya was struck by a drone. The facility sits near the country's largest oil refinery, a key part of Libya's energy export infrastructure.
Local authorities have not yet confirmed the source of the attack. The incident comes amid continuing tension between rival forces in Libya, which has been divided between competing administrations in recent years. No casualties were reported, and repair crews were dispatched to the site.
Energy analysts said attacks on the country's oil and power infrastructure carry a risk of disrupting production and exports. Officials said an assessment of the damage to the facility is under way. Libya's energy sector has faced repeated disruptions from similar incidents in recent years, complicating efforts to stabilize output.
