GNA condemned airstrikes on the Al-Watiya airbase which led to destruction of Turkish-deployed air defense system. GNA claimed that it would respond “in right place and at the right time”.

Just two days after Turkey deployed MIM-23 Hawk air defense systems and the Koral system at the Al-Watiya air base in northwestern Libya, the systems were destroyed by the Libyan National Army (LNA) airstrikes.
