Fighting over a storage and refinement facility in Northern Libya has caused a large fire and the destruction of over 1.8 million barrels of oil. While fighting for control over the major port Es Sider, an RPG hit one of the storage tanks. The already limping Libyan economy took a big blow as much of the oil stored in the Es Sider went up in smoke and drifted across the Mediterranean Sea.
