  "account": "Libya's National Oil Corporation (NOC) reported a drone strike on the country's largest operating refinery, the Zawiya oil refinery complex, on Tuesday. This marks the fifth attack on the facility since Saturday. The NOC confirmed that a diesel storage tank at the Zawiya Oil Refining Company was targeted, resulting in a small fire which has since been extinguished. Zawiya, with a daily capacity of 120,000 barrels, serves as the nation's primary refinery. On Monday, a fire with heavy smoke erupted from a diesel tank depot at the refinery following a tank strike, according to Brega Petroleum Marketing Company. Later that day, Libya's NOC officially announced the drone attack, emphasizing that the incident resulted in no casualties or structural damage. Shortly thereafter, the refinery faced another drone assault, as reported by Saudi state-owned Al Arabiya.",
