Al Jazeera: Rival Libyan factions battle over eastern oil ports
Offensive launched by UN-backed Tripoli government against rival administration's fighters who seized ports last week.
Eastern Libyan forces said they reestablished control over two oil ports where an ousted faction launched a counter-attack on Sunday, briefly seizing one of the terminals.
The Petroleum Facilities Guard (PFG) - an armed group led by Ibrahim Jathran and loyal to the Tripoli-based government - said it attacked two of the oil ports captured by forces of rival military leader Khalifa Haftar.
Last week, Haftar's forces seized the ports of Ras Lanuf, Al-Sidra, Zuwaytina, and Brega in the so-called "oil crescent" along the coast, which were then handed to the National Oil Corporation.
