| Description |
There are reports of the movement of two groups of Libyan National Army (LNA) troops towards Sirte from the south-west and east. At least one Misratan brigade also announced it was moving eastwards towards the 200 kilometre-long coastal strip controlled by IS militants. An army source reported that a force of more than a thousand men had left Ghabghab, the main army base at Marj and was heading for Sirte. It seems likely that the convoy will include some of the armoured personnel carriers and pickups delivered to Tobruk from the UAE. |
