Armed clashes in Libya halted by a conflict resolution brigade

Armed clashes broke out in the early hours of a Tuesday in the western Libyan town of Surman between militias aligned with the Government of National Unity. The fighting reached its peak intensity during a drone deployment before a conflict resolution brigade successfully intervened to halt the hostilities.

Amid the armed violence in the city, an undetermined number of prisoners managed to escape from the Surman prison. The incident was documented by the Judicial Investigation Office as the local security situation deteriorated due to the clashes.
