The Libya National Army (LNA)'s 102 Brigade took control of Fataieh by driving the remaining fighters from the Islamic State (IS) out of the Derna area. Spokesman for the LNAs Omar Mukhtar Operations Room which covers Derna and the surrounding region reported that the army had taken control of Dernas south eastern suburb of Fataieh and the area known as District 400 at the far east end of the town following a new ground and air offensive on 20 April. IS fighters retreated towards the desert road to Ajdabiya, heading for Sirte, taking 32 vehicles with them. Two soldiers were killed and one injured. There were claims that IS was forced out of Fataieh purely by the Shura Council of Derna Mujahideen and not the LNA and also by a coalition of militias from the cities of Baida, Tobruk and Darnah (according to Al-Jazeera). As the LNA left, there were reports that they aerially-bombed the area, resulting in "many dead" (10 fatalities recorded). Reports contrast on whether IS militants or fighters from the Shura Council of Derna Mujahideen were targeted. |
