TRIPOLI - An armed group attacked Libya’s largest oilfield on Monday, but was repelled after clashes with its protection force, while fighting escalated in eastern commander Khalifa Haftar’s effort to capture the capital Tripoli.
OPEC member Libya’s oil output has been repeatedly disrupted by factional conflict and blockades since the 2011 uprising that toppled longtime dictator Muammar Gaddafi. The Tripoli forces as well as the LNA claimed to have made progress on different parts of the frontline though the situation remained fluid.
State guards and local tribesmen shut down El Sharara in December to press financial demands before allowing production to reopen in March.
