2nd Battle of Brega

The 2nd Battle of Brega was the second battle that took place in Brega.

Battle
On 13 March, regime's forces, advancing from Ra's Lanuf, succeeded in retaking Brega, though that night reports indicated that fighting was still ongoing and rebels possibly still controlled portions of the town. Reportedly, the rebels re-entered the town and heavy fighting ensued, after which government troops retreated to Brega's airport. However, just an hour later, it was stated that loyalist forces had pushed back rebel troops from the town to Aj-Ojela, 20 kilometers east of Brega.

By the morning of 14 March, rebel forces were holding the residential district and loyalist forces were holding the oil facilities. On 15 March, rebel forces had abandoned Brega and were in full retreat towards Ajdabiya. Ajdabiya itself came under ground attack just a few hours later, marking the beginning of the 1st Battle of Ajdabiya.
