Before, heavy fighting was fought in the vicinity of Tripoli with the use of aircraft and artillery. Now that the units of the Libyan National Army managed to gain a foothold, the LNA command determined the main and secondary directions of the offensive.
Recall that the troops under the command of Marshal Khalifa Haftar are going to capture Tripoli, where the forces supporting the so-called. "Government of National Accord." The offensive in Tripoli began on April 4, and on April 8, the LNA command reported on the capture of suburban areas of the capital. But on this, the first lightning wave of the offensive ended, the LNA almost stopped moving towards its cherished goal, and heavy fighting began.
Opposing parties compete in accusations against each other, in issuing warrants for the arrest of leaders and seek to enlist the support of foreign states, including the United States, Western Europe and Russia.
