The spokesman for the Sirte-Jufra Operations Room, Abdelhadi Drah, said military engineering teams had combed through the area from eastern Abu Grein onward to scour for explosive remnants of war (ERW) left by Khalifa Haftar's forces.

Drah said the teams had detonated three tons of ERW found in the area so the amount of detonated ERW reached five tons as two tons were detonated last month near Buerat Al-Hassoun area.

Meanwhile, the member of the subcommittee of the 5+5 Joint Military Commission, Mohammed Al-Turjman, said combing operations in the region should have ended in 15 days, yet the vastness of the area derailed the work of the military engineers and delayed achievement some time.
