Firefighters in western Libya fought Tuesday to extinguish the remnants of a massive fire caused by a drone strike on an oil facility, and a car bomb killed a senior military officer in the country’s east, in the latest attacks in the chaos-stricken North African nation. The drone hit a gasoline tank at the Zawiya oil refinery in the Mediterranean town of Zawiya on Monday, about 47 kilometers (about 30 miles) west of capital Tripoli, the state-run National Oil Corporation said. The attack ignited a massive blaze at gasoline-storage tank that burned through the night and was still burning as of Tuesday afternoon, according to the Civil Defense, a first responders’ agency. There were no reports of casualties, the health authorities said.
