Libyan Airforce under GNA destroyed the Antonov-type airlift cargo plane in Tarhuna, southeast of Tripoli on May 5.
Libya army has recently increased pressure on Haftar forces supply lines recently and seems to have regained the edge in terms of air.
Tarhuna fell to Haftar-led LNA forces during the Second Libyan Civil War, and became LNA's stronghold in Western Libya. On 18 April 2020, the forces of the UN-recognized GNA government, with the backing of Turkish drones, launched a major attack with the aim to reclaim Tarhuna from Haftar. (ILKHA)
