A military source from the Libyan Army under the Government of National Accord (GNA) said it had destroyed a Russian air defense system used by Khalifa Haftar’s militias in Sokna town within Jufra municipality.
Sources told Libya Alahrar that the targeting of the Russian air defense system was by airstrikes, without giving further details.
On Monday, the Deputy Minister of Defense under the command of the GNA Salah Al-Namroush said that the latest airstrikes on Al-Watiya Airbase will break the military stalemate and the GNA forces will be ready to engage in liberating Sirte and Jufra at the right time.
Al-Namroush said earlier that foreign aircraft backing up war criminal Haftar aim to distract attention from victories of our brave armed forces, referring to foreign warplanes’ strikes on Al-Watiya on Monday.
