- LSalahuddin Namroush, the Deputy Chief of Staff for the forces aligned with Libya’s Government of National Unity (GNU), issued an order on Friday prohibiting the passage of any unauthorized military vehicles towards the Ras Ajdir border crossing. The directive followed Namroush’s inspection tour of the battalions stationed at the entrances and exits of the Abu Kamash area.
