Fires broke out at the Zawiya oil complex after explosives-laden drones struck the site. Hours later, fresh violence in Benghazi highlighted Libya's persistent security challenges.

A drone hit a naphtha tank at Libya's Zawiya refinery on August 8, causing a contained leak. NOC Chairman Suleman confirmed no fire or injuries.

The incident came two days after a drone crashed into an untreated naphtha tank at the Zawiya refinery early on Saturday, causing a leak that staff managed to control.
