KIRKUK: Militants launched an assault on Iraq's main oil refinery early on Wednesday as they pressed an offensive that has seen them capture swathes of territory, an official and a refinery employee said.
Clashes erupted at around 4:00 am (0100 GMT) at the Baiji oil refinery in Salaheddin province, north of Baghdad, and militants destroyed some stores of oil after entering the complex.
