The Libyan National Army (LNA) announced that its air defense system shot down a GNA drone conducting a reconnaissance mission over al-Jufra air base.
The LNA has controlled the strategic al-Jufra airbase since June 2017.
The district of Jufra is around 500km southwest of Benghazi, and equal distance southeast of Tripoli.
The GNA coalition has been carrying out a series of attempts at taking al-Jufra in the past month, but to no avail as of yet.
