Armed Smugglers Arrested Near Libyan Border Triangle

Armed Smugglers Arrested Near Libyan Border Triangle

The Libyan National Army (LNA) announced it has dismantled a smuggling network operating in the border region shared with Sudan and Egypt. The network, composed of both Libyan and foreign nationals, was intercepted by the LNA’s “Subul Al-Salam” Battalion.

According to a statement released by the LNA’s Media Division on Wednesday via Facebook, the operation led to the arrest of the smugglers and the seizure of a large quantity of fuel, light weapons, ammunition, and wireless communication equipment.

The statement said the smugglers intended to transfer the contraband to armed groups in exchange for substantial financial payments.

The development comes just days after Sudanese local media reported a violent clash in the same border area. The confrontation allegedly involved Sudanese joint forces allied with the Sudanese army and the Subul Al-Salam Battalion, affiliated with the LNA’s General Command. Reports indicated that there were casualties and prisoners on both sides.

Adding to regional tensions, the Sudanese Armed Forces announced yesterday that they had withdrawn from the so-called “triangle border zone” with Egypt and Libya. The withdrawal followed what the Sudanese military described as an attack by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), allegedly supported by units affiliated with the Libyan National Army.

The incident has raised new concerns about border security and the role of armed groups operating across Libya’s southern frontier. The LNA has not commented on the Sudanese accusations, but the incident highlights the fragile security dynamics in this volatile tri-border region.
