Rival Libyan factions battle over eastern oil ports







Eastern Libyan forces loyal to military leader Khalifa Haftar said they had re-established control over two oil ports where an ousted faction launched a counterattack on Sunday, briefly seizing one of the terminals.

The Petroleum Facilities Guard - an armed group led by Ibrahim Jathran and loyal to the Tripoli-based government - said it staged an attack on Sunday on two of the oil ports captured by Haftar's forces last week.
