A car bomb killed Brigadier Fawzi Al Mansouri, the chief of military intelligence for Khalifa Haftar's forces in eastern Libya, outside his home in Benghazi on Monday evening. The identity of the attackers and the nature of the explosive device remain unclear. Meanwhile, drone attacks struck critical oil facilities in western Libya, causing fires and potential disruptions to fuel supplies.
The Zawiya refinery, Libya's largest operating refinery, saw a fuel storage tank explode and collapse, releasing about 4.5 million liters of gasoline. Another drone attack targeted an oil blending and filling plant near the refinery, threatening a major oil tank and pipeline network. These attacks highlight the ongoing instability in Libya, a country divided politically and militarily since the 2011 NATO-backed uprising that ousted Muammar Gaddafi.
