Watch: Huge blaze after attack on petrol tank in Libya

Libyan emergency services have been battling to contain a huge blaze at a major oil plant after it was targeted by unknown attackers.

The Zawiya refinery, west of the capital Tripoli, was hit in a drone strike on Monday evening - the third such incident in two days.

The National Oil Corporation (NOC) said a tank containing about 4.5m litres of fuel was directly hit, triggering a huge fire that caused it to collapse. It said it was considering suspending operations if the attacks continued.
