Uneasy calm descends on Tripoli frontlines
The Libya Observer reports that an uneasy calm has descended on southern Tripoli frontlines after a day of heavy fighting.
Saturday saw heavy clashes between the Libyan Army forces under the command of Presidential Council’s government and Khalifa Haftar’s forces on different frontlines, with the former advancing and seizing new positions.
It adds that a source from Burkan Al-Ghadab Operation (Volcano of Rage Operation) said Haftar’s forces tried Sunday morning to retake the positions they lost Saturday at Cement Factory in Souq Al-Khamis Emsehel, but their attack was foiled as two of their armored vehicles were destroyed and then they returned to Tarhouna city.
The source added that Haftar’s forces advanced on Tripoli International Airport frontline from Al-Ramla axis, but it was soon thwarted by Volcano of Rage forces, whose heavy fire forced Haftar’s forces back to their previous positions.
