Authorities in western Libya have arrested five people in connection with a recent string of drone attacks on a major energy facility.
The government said the arrests exposed a “vast plot” and described the attacks as part of a coordinated campaign.
Authorities said the group were part of a "sabotage cell" who also planned to attack a power station south of Tripoli, as well as other vital facilities.
They said foreigners are among the suspects but didn’t give further details.
In August, a large petrol reservoir in Zawiya caught fire during a drone attack on a major oil facility near Tripoli, Libya's state-owned oil company NOC said.
The reservoir is part of the second-largest oil refinery in Libya, with a refining capacity of 120,000 barrels per day. Other drone attacks followed at the Zawiya complex, which is located some 45 kilometres west of Tripoli.
