Director of the Department of Explosives at the National Safety Authority, Ali Al-Qadi, said that more than 100 tons of war remnants were scattered in most areas of southern Tripoli and the areas of the Nafusa Mountain, Tarhuna, and Bani Walid.
Al-Qadi added in an interview with Libya Alahrar that the entrance of citizens to several areas in southern Tripoli has become prohibited due to booby traps and mines that are difficult to detect.
He pointed out that the explosives teams face difficulty in dealing with these mines due to the lack of capabilities.
The Director called on all citizens to take caution, not to deal with any type of bombs, and to report them to the relevant authorities immediately to avoid any injuries.
At least 130 people were killed in Libya, most of them civilians, as a result of landmines and abandoned or unexploded ordnance left behind by Haftar’s militias and his Wagner mercenaries after they withdrew from the southern suburbs of Tripoli in June 2020, according to a report by Human Rights Watch.
