Al-Thinni eastern government is selling 650 thousand barrels of oil via parallel NOC

Press sources have reported that the parallel National Oil Corporation in the eastern Al-Thinni government is now filling 650 thousand oil barrels on board of an Indian ship.
Earlier today, the NOC of Al-Thinni government issued a statement saying it will export oil out of the fields and ports it controls in the east, pointing out that it doesn’t recognise the Tripoli-based NOC as it is under the rule of an illegitimate government, according to the statement.
