Libya: Forces loyal to Libyan unity government fully liberate Sirte from ISIS terrorists
Forces loyal to Libya’s UN-backed government have fully liberated the militant stronghold of Sirte from the Daesh Takfiri terrorists, officials say.
Reda Issa, a spokesman for pro-government forces, made the announcement on Monday.
“Our forces have total control of Sirte,” Issa said, adding, “Our forces saw Daesh totally collapse.”
The spokesman also noted that the forces are now carrying out mop-up operations to clear the area of the Takfiri remnants.
Meanwhile, a statement on the loyalist forces’ official Facebook page confirmed the liberation of the terrorist group’s ex-North African stronghold of Sirte.
