Abuja, 29 June-(ANA)-The main militant group in Nigeria's Niger Delta says it has attacked an oil platform, the second attack since a government amnesty offer last Thursday.
Royal Dutch Shell confirmed that its Forcados export terminal in DeltaState had been targeted, but it is not clear if production has been affected.
The army denied militant claims that a gunboat with soldiers on board had been sunk, AFP news agency reports.
The 60-day amnesty for militants is a bid to end years of crippling attacks.
The Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta has said it will not disarm until militant leader Henry Okah is freed from jail.
He is facing trial on charges of gun-running and treason after being arrested in Angola in 2007.
On Friday, the government offered to free him - but only if Angola agrees.
Militant attacks in the region have reduced oil production to 1.3m barrels per day, officials say. Nigeria's Opec quota is 2m. (ANA)
