LONDON (Reuters) - Oil rose toward $70 a barrel on Monday after Nigeria's main militant group said it attacked a Royal Dutch Shell <RDSa.L> oil platform, outweighing a fairly bearish report from the International Energy Agency (IEA).
The Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) said in an emailed statement it struck the Shell Forcados platform in the Delta state.
There was no immediate independent confirmation but Shell said it shut in some oil production at its western operations in the Delta while it investigated reports of attacks on two well clusters in its Estuary Field.
