Brega oil and gas marketing company has expressed discontent and concern over the continuous shelling near the Airport Road oil depots, saying a shell has fallen in the western side of the depots compound on the road in southern Tripoli.

Brega and National Oil Corporation both called on the warring parties to stay away from the oil and gas depots on the Airport Road to avoid humanitarian, ecological and economic disaster.

Brega company also explained that the oil tanks have large quantities of eel and continuous shelling on the depots’ area could lead to a disaster.
