The Libyan Defense Ministry has declared that the security situation in Tripoli remains stable, following overnight clashes between government forces and armed militias.

Authorities confirmed that military units intervened swiftly, ensuring the withdrawal of armed groups and restoring compliance with the ceasefire agreements established in May.

The Defense Ministry warned against further violations, reaffirming its commitment to national security and its readiness to take necessary measures to prevent future escalations.

The latest violence follows deadly confrontations in May, triggered by the assassination of the Stability Support Apparatus (SSA) leader.

Libya remains politically divided, with two rival administrations vying for control since the postponement of presidential elections in 2021.
