Libyan vessels intercepted a North Korean-flagged tanker that illegally loaded oil, and escorted it to Misrata. The GNC issued an order authorizing militias in Tobruk, Benghazi, Sebha, Sirte, Misrata, and Tripoli to create a military force to bring the eastern oil terminals back under the government's control. The US warned of civil liability, penalties, and other sanctions for those illegally taking oil from Libya's terminals. In Benghazi, gunmen fatally shot a policeman and wounded another, and a bomb exploded under another police officer's car and killed him. Car bombs injured two people near Derna.
