Military forces took full control of Tagreft barracks, and military engineers inspected the zone to clear anti-personnel mines. The Al-Jalet barracks was also seized as well as a bridge and an intersection that leads to the western entrance to the city of Sirte, in operations backed by seven strikes by the Libyan air force.
