The LNA forces managed to gain a foothold in the southern suburbs of the capital Ain Zara, the army continues to develop the offensive. In addition, the Khamza military camp was captured, which was repeatedly used by the PNS forces for counterattacks. Battles are fought in the areas of Al-Aziziyah, Hallya al-Furdzhan (in 10 km south of the center of Tripoli) and the route near the long-functioning capital international airport.
It is reported that during the MiG-21 LNA Haftar raid on Misurata Airport, a Turkish-owned Boeing 747 was allegedly destroyed.

Haftar announced a decisive attack on Tripoli with the task of taking possession of the capital on Thursday evening, addressing the Libyan people with a video message.
