Forces loyal to Libya’s UN-backed unity government pushed on Sunday into the last areas of Sirte held by the Islamic State group in what was the jihadists’ coastal stronghold, a spokesperson said.
“Our forces entered the last areas held by Daesh in Sirte: district number one and district number three,” said Rida Issa, using an Arabic acronym for ISIS.
“The final battle for Sirte has started”, he added.
