The Presidential Council (PC) issued a statement on Saturday in response to Haftar's threats to target Misurata and Khoms ports on claims that they are used for "military propose."

The PC stressed that the Ports and Maritime Transport Authority of the Ministry of Transport is the only recognized body by the International Maritime Organization and it did not issue any instructions to close these ports.

"The ports are functioning normally and under the follow-up of all competent international bodies," the statement explained, stressing that it will hold Haftar accountable for any attack or threat to these ports or any other marine facilities.
