What happened

The Zawiya Oil Refining Company ordered a complete emergency shutdown after heavy clashes sent large-calibre shells into multiple parts of the refinery complex. Oil tankers were moved away from the port, and the National Oil Corporation said personnel and students at nearby facilities were evacuated safely. The reporting did not establish that the refinery itself was deliberately targeted.
