confirmed that pro-Gaddafi forces had driven them 20 km out of the town and captured the oil refinery. [2] Later during the day, the<br />
government took foreign journalists to the city for confirmation of the town's fall. [39]<br />
Aftermath After the battle the town was firmly in loyalist hands and government troops advanced further east taking the towns of<br />
Brega and Ajdabiya and arriving to Benghazi. However, on 19 March, a military intervention by the UN started. The air strikes by<br />
Coalition aircraft pushed back government troops which allowed the rebels to retake a string of towns. On 27 March, pro-Gaddafi<br />
forces in Ra's Lanuf were observed retreating towards Sirt. This allowed the anti-Gaddafi forces to retake control of the city. [40][41]<br />
However, this would not last and once again, just three days later, government troops routed the rebels during a counter-attack from<br />
Ra's Lanuf on 30 March, taking back the town. [42]<br />
