A militant group has purportedly claimed a new attack on a Chevron oil facility in Nigeria’s restive Delta region, a message on a Twitter feed previously used by the group to take credit for strikes against oil facilities said.
There was no immediate confirmation of the attack from residents of the area or Chevron.
A militant group called Niger Delta Avengers has claimed a string of attacks in the southern region which have helped reduce Nigeria’s oil output to nearly a 20-year low.
