Libya denounces new attempt to attack fuel depot

CNN Portugal3 September 2026 at 19:29

Libya denounced a new attempt to attack a fuel depot, marking the second incident of this kind in less than a month. This new incident follows the destruction of a tank containing 4.5 million liters of gasoline.

The Libyan government expressed concern about these recurring attacks on the country's oil infrastructure, which represent a significant threat to the nation's energy stability. Detailed information about the perpetrators or the specific circumstances of this latest attack attempt has not yet been released.

The previous destruction of the tank with 4.5 million liters of gasoline had already caused considerable damage to Libya's energy sector and raised alerts about the vulnerability of oil facilities in the region. Authorities continue to investigate both incidents.
