The Southern Liberation Room in Libya launched a decisive security operation resulting in the incineration of several fuel-smuggling trucks.
Military units intercepted the vehicles as they attempted to transport essential fuel supplies across the border into neighboring Sudan.
Following the strike, officials announced the total closure of all southern land crossings shared with Sudan, Chad, and Niger.
Authorities stated through their official Facebook page that these measures are vital to halting the illicit flow of food.
The strategic move aims to safeguard Libya’s national resources and prevent the severe depletion of goods through illegal cross-border smuggling.
By severing these supply lines, the chamber intends to stabilize the local economy and ensure resources remain for domestic use.
Tensions in the region remain high as security forces maintain a strict presence along the now-sealed international boundary lines.
This operation highlights the ongoing struggle to control vast desert territories where shadow economies often thrive amidst regional instability.
