🇱🇾⚡️ — On July 12, a Libyan national army outpost located in the Arendiga area near the border of Niger was raided by the Southern Liberation Operation Room rebel groups, killing an unknown number of soldiers and capturing 15 soldiers and equipment.

LNA forces responded by launching a counterinsurgency operation in southern Libya near the border with Niger and Chad in order to stop SLOR infiltration into Libya.

The SLOR is an ethnic Toubou separatist group, led by Mohamed Wardougou, whose goal is the independence of southern Libya; however, the group is receiving minimal support from the southern Libyan Toubou tribe.
