Brega Petroleum Company announced on Tuesday evening that a fire broke out at a storage tank in the Zawiya oil storage area in Libya. The company said the fire was triggered by the tank being struck, but did not provide further details on the incident. Brega renewed its call on all parties to cease combat activities and stay away from oil facilities. Two sources told Reuters that explosions occurred at a fuel depot inside the Zawiya refinery and that the nature of the incident was not yet known. Officials said an investigation into the cause of the fire was ongoing. The explosions came two days after an unmanned aerial vehicle struck a tanker carrying raw naphtha at the Zawiya refinery, causing a leak that staff managed to contain. No further details on casualties or the extent of the damage were immediately available.
