MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 08th April, 2019) The Libyan National Army (LNA), headed by Khalifa Haftar, who is advancing on Tripoli, where the UN-supported Government of National Accord is based, has seized the Yarmouk military camp to the south of the Libyan capital, a source in Haftar's General Command told Sputnik.
"The forces of the Libyan [National] Army have gained control over the Yarmouk camp to the south of capital Tripoli," the source said.
Last week, Haftar announced an offensive against Tripoli in a bid to oust "militias" from the city. On April 7, forces loyal to the GNA said that they were launching a counteroffensive operation, dubbed Volcano of Rage.
Since the beginning of the offensive, the Libyan National Army, has already gained control over several cities near Tripoli and over Tripoli International Airport. The GNA later said that the airport had been retaken by its forces, but the LNA refuted the claims.
