Libyan Army Conducts Successful Air & Ground Operation Near Southern Border
The Libyan National Army (LNA) announced the success of a coordinated air and ground military operation that targeted an armed group of Chadian opposition fighters near Libya's southern border. The operation, which took place at dawn on Sunday, was carried out in retaliation for the deaths of two Libyan soldiers, Faraj Al-Naji and Fathi Al-Mabrouk, who were killed in a previous clash with the same group. In an official statement, the LNA's Military Media Division confirmed that the operation inflicted heavy losses on the targeted militants. The army described the mission as 'precise and highly effective,' noting that reconnaissance units, both ground-based and aerial, continue to monitor the area, tracking any remaining fighters and suspicious movements. The LNA emphasized its full commitment to defending Libya's borders and maintaining national security. It vowed to continue conducting proactive military operations to neutralize any threats near the southern frontier. The army warned that any attempt to infiltrate Libyan territory or undermine the country's security would be met with a swift and forceful military response. In a separate statement, the LNA's General Command mourned the loss of the two fallen soldiers, praising their bravery and sacrifice in protecting Libya's sovereignty. The army expressed deep condolences to their families and asked for divine mercy for the deceased, while also honoring their role in defending the nation against foreign armed groups. This latest military action highlights the ongoing security challenges along Libya's vast and porous southern borders, where various armed groups, smugglers, and militants frequently operate. The LNA has intensified its operations in the region in recent months to deter infiltration, prevent arms smuggling, and dismantle networks linked to foreign fighters. The army reaffirmed its determination to pursue all necessary measures to protect Libyan territory, pledging continued vigilance and operational readiness in response to any cross-border threats.

Libyan Army Sends Wounded Soldiers to Russia for Treatment
A new group of wounded soldiers from the Libyan National Army (LNA) departed Libya on Monday, heading to the Russian Federation to receive medical treatment. According to the LNA's Military Media Division, this move follows direct orders from the Commander-in-Chief of the Libyan National Army, Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar. The mission was coordinated and overseen by the Chief of Staff of the Ground Forces, Lieutenant General Saddam Haftar. The statement highlighted that the transfer is part of a continuous medical care program, aimed at providing critical care for severely injured soldiers. Several batches of wounded troops are being sent to allied countries under this initiative, with Russia being one of the key destinations. The LNA emphasized that the program reflects the General Command's commitment to ensuring top-tier medical treatment for its injured personnel, in recognition of their sacrifices for the nation's security and sovereignty. This latest transfer reinforces the strategic military and humanitarian ties between Libya and Russia, amid ongoing efforts to rehabilitate those wounded in the country's long-running conflict. Follow us for more updates on Libya's military and international cooperation efforts. Libya has been in chaos since a NATO-backed uprising toppled longtime leader Muammar Gaddafi in 2011. The county has for years been split between rival administrations. Libya's economy, heavily reliant on oil, has suffered due to the ongoing conflict. The instability has led to fluctuations in oil production and prices, impacting the global oil market and Libya's economy. The conflict has led to a significant humanitarian crisis in Libya, with thousands of people killed, and many more displaced. Migrants and refugees using Libya as a transit point to Europe have also faced dire conditions. The planned elections for December 2021 were delayed due to disagreements over election laws and the eligibility of certain candidates. This delay has raised concerns about the feasibility of a peaceful political transition. Despite the ceasefire, security remains a significant concern with sporadic fighting and the presence of mercenaries and foreign fighters. The unification of the military and the removal of foreign forces are crucial challenges. Tags: khalifa haftarLibyan armyLNARussia
