The Libyan Stability Support Agency has launched intensive desert patrols to secure areas along the Libyan-Tunisian border.
The agency said the step came as part of a comprehensive plan to combat the growing threats of illegal migration and smuggling.
These patrols operate around the clock through teams trained to deal with geographical and security challenges in rugged border areas.
Libya has been divided into multiple military zones due to the ongoing instability and conflicts following the fall of Muammar Gaddafi in 2011. These zones are typically controlled by different factions. ■
