The Ministry of Interior announced the arrival of the Joint Security Room to Ras Jadeer on Monday evening in order to assess the security situation at the border crossing and assess the damage there.
According to a statement published by the Press Office of the Ministry of Interior, the Joint Security Room will prepare a report on the crossing to reopen it in coordination with the Chief of General Staff of the Libyan Military.
