Explosions in Libya: Call for Action on Ammunition Storage

The Municipal Council of Zliten, Libya, has urged security and military authorities to urgently address ammunition storage facilities and remove them from residential areas following an explosion at one of these depots yesterday, Friday, where no human casualties were reported. The explosion caused only material damage, and the city council noted that this incident is "not the first of its kind," highlighting that similar events have occurred in the past. The Zliten municipality is calling for the relocation of ammunition and weapon storage away from the city and is demanding an investigation into the causes of the explosion at one of the armed groups' ammunition depots that occurred early Friday. The council emphasized that "the repetition of these dangerous incidents increases the necessity for preventive measures." They also called for an urgent investigation by the relevant authorities to determine the reasons for this ongoing phenomenon and to implement necessary measures to prevent its recurrence.
