The spokesman of Dignity Operation forces, Ahmed Al-Mismari, has described the ongoing clashes in southern Libya as an attempt to drive Third Force troops outside the region.
The Third Force is a military body that is appointed by the UN-proposed government to secure the southern region, including Timnahent airbase, where most of the current hit-and-miss skirmishes are taking place.
In a program on Russian Sputnik Radio, Al-Mismari said the clashes in southern Libya have reached a point where their forces and the forces of the Third Force are in direct contact with little distance between them on the frontline.
"The fight in the southern region, especially in Sabha, is still ongoing and we aim to continue until we secure it and push the Third force outside it." Al-Mismari remarked.
Clashes in southern Libya renewed Sunday afternoon after Dignity Operation had attacked Timnahent airbase using more than 20 howitzers.
The truce that was announced for three days between the pro-Dignity Operation forces led by Mohammed Ben Nayel and the UN-proposed government's forces appointed by the defense minister-designate was broken.
The southern region, especially Timnahent airbase, has been the arena for a non-stop fight between those two parties since late March this year.
