Forces loyal to eastern Libyan commander Khalifa Haftar have launched attacks at ports in Libya's oil crescent and clashed with guards who control the terminals, according to a spokesman and witnesses.
Petroleum Facilities Guard (PFG) spokesman Ali al-Hassi said on Sunday afternoon that Haftar's forces attacked at Zueitina, Ras Lanuf, and Es Sider ports to the east of Sirte, as well as the nearby town of Ajdabiya, and that clashes were ongoing.
A port engineer confirmed that Haftar's forces had entered the oil ports of Ras Lanuf and Es Sider, Libya's largest, and said one of the storage tanks at Es Sider had been set alight in the clashes.
