Libyan government forces have launched an attack on rebel forces commanded by renegade general Khalifa Haftar, killing a number of their top commanders in an airstrike on the country’s volatile north.

Eastern Libyan forces have conducted airstrikes against positions in the central city of Sirte held by the Government of National Accord.

The mass grave was found west of the Libyan coastal city of Sirte.

At least three soldiers have been injured after a car bomb hit a military checkpoints east of the Libyan city of Sirte.

Libya’s eastern military forces launch attacks on Daesh operatives near the coastal city of Sirte.

The officials said the blast at Nofaliya also wounded two soldiers from the self-styled Libyan National Army, LNA, for which Daesh claimed responsibility.

Hundreds of dead bodies belonging to foreign members of Daesh wait to be sent away as Libyan authorities negotiate with other governments, officials say.
