Eight fighters from Libyan National Army (LNA) were killed Saturday in an attack on their training camp in the southern city of Sebha, announced head of the local municipality Hamed al-Khaiyali.
A source from the LNA accused the ISIS terrorist group and Chadian opposition fighters of being behind the attack.
The LNA, commanded by Khalifa Haftar, had launched last month an operation against Tripoli to liberate it from terrorist gangs and militias loyal to the Government of National Accord.
Haftar’s forces have been marching steadily on the capital, with the LNA bringing in reinforcements in recent days.
