Workers at biggest Libyan oil port es sider evacuate site due to nearby clashes - worker


    BENGHAZI, Libya (Reuters) - Workers at Libya's biggest oil port, Es Sider, evacuated the site on Saturday for security reasons due to nearby clashes, a worker said.

    Forces loyal to Libya's recognised government earlier launched air strikes on a rival force advancing towards the port in the east of the country.

    "The workers have been evacuated for security reasons," a worker in the port's administration said, asking not to be named.
