The Government of National Accord (GNA) head by Fayez al-Sarraj said on Thursday that its forces would keep fighting after a unilateral ceasefire declaration by Khalifa Haftar’s Libyan National Army (LNA).
"We confirm our fixed position that we will continue with our legitimate self-defense and strike the source of threat wherever it is," the GNA said in a statement.
It said it did not trust the LNA after previous failed ceasefires.
LNA spokesman Ahmed al-Mismari said late on Wednesday that the Army was adopting a ceasefire during Ramadan in response to requests by the international community and "friendly countries".
Mismari warned violations by the GNA would be met with an "immediate and harsh response."
