Air Delivered event in West, Sabratha area, Libya on Thu 13th November 2025

On 13 November 2025, for the second consecutive day, an armed group (likely the GNU-aligned Libyan Army, based on similar past actions) carried out drone strikes on vessels of the Anti-Security Threat Agency commanded by Mohamed Bahroun in the port of Sabratha (An Nuqat al Khams, West). Casualties unknown. The agency stated that the targeted boats were dedicated to curbing irregular migration. The GNU did not comment on the operation, but it has conducted similar strikes in recent days and months in northwestern cities known as key departure points for migrants attempting to reach Europe and as hubs for human smuggling. Critics claim these operations are mainly aimed at demonstrating action on migration issues to European partners and at targeting political rivals, and also point out that the strikes have at times hit civilian targets.
