Drone Strikes Target Libya’s Power Grid | Dover News

A drone strike obliterated a power substation in Zawiya, Libya, plunging the city deeper into chaos amid a wave of targeted attacks on energy infrastructure. Just days prior, another drone hit a fuel tank at the Zawiya refinery, sparking a massive fire that burned for over 15 hours. With both the refinery and power plant repeatedly under siege, security concerns have forced General Electric to pull its teams — a move that further cripples Libya’s already fragile energy grid. Prime Minister Abdul-Hamid Dbeibah condemned the strikes as an escalation and vowed accountability, even for powerful actors. The attacks are linked to local militias and a warlord controlling Zawiya, unfolding against a backdrop of Libya’s enduring political fragmentation since 2011. As international efforts to stabilize the oil-rich nation stall, the relentless targeting of critical infrastructure threatens to deepen instability across the country.
