What happened

Two drones struck the approximately 1,300 MW Zawiya power station while repair work was underway. One damaged the station's firefighting system; the other landed near its main fuel storage and caused a fire that was quickly controlled. No casualties were reported. Libya's General Electricity Company stopped work, and GE withdrew technical teams pending safer conditions after team accommodation was also damaged. GECOL said more than 700 MW remained unavailable; the reporting links that continuing shortfall to delayed maintenance and repeated security disruption rather than establishing that the 11 August strikes alone removed all of that capacity. No group claimed responsibility.
