On Thursday, Turkish-made drones launched a number of airstrikes targeting three trucks loaded with fuel and ammunition near the city of Bani Walid in Libya.
The Government of National Accord (GNA) forces are using these drones to prevent the delivery of supplies to the Libyan National Army (LNA) in the south of Tripoli.
In a statement, the media office of the GNA-led Burkan Al-Ghadab (“Volcano of Rage”) Operation said that their forces targeted three trucks in Southern Bani Walid that were on their way to supply LNA forces in the south of Tripoli.
On Tuesday, the LNA announced that its air defense had shot down four Turkish drones over the cities of Tripoli and Misrata. This comes in addition to a drone reportedly being shot down over southern Tripoli the previous day, after taking off from Mitiga International Airport.
The LNA accuses Ankara of providing significant military support to armed groups aligned with the GNA by sending them weapons, military advisers, soldiers and fighters from Syria.
