Libya's National Oil Corporation (NOC) condemned the militarisation of the country's energy infrastructure, following a number of incidents in the past week involving the capture of an airfield, the attempted requisition of tug boats, and use of oil terminals by warships and other military vessels, it said on a statement on Saturday.

"This illegal and irresponsible activity is a gross violation of our civilian mandate and must stop. These acts endanger workers, diminish partner confidence, and threaten our ability to maintain operations. NOC rejects all attempts to use corporation equipment and facilities for military objectives," NOC chairperson Mustafa Sanalla said.
