The Libyan Government of National Accord forces announced a complete mobilization west of the city of Sirte, at a time when Moscow rejected the accusations against it using Syrian territory to send weapons and mercenaries to Libya.
The Al-Wefaq government forces confirmed that they are awaiting instructions from the Supreme Commander of the Army to respond to the sources of fire by the forces of retired Major General Khalifa Haftar in the areas west of Sirte.
A spokesman for the National Accord Forces stated that it had spotted a fourth breach after what he described as "Haftar's terrorist militia," launching a barrage of Grad rockets at the positions of the Accord forces.

In a related development, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov rejected accusations against Russia of using Syrian territory to send weapons and mercenaries to Libya.
Lavrov added, in a press conference in Damascus with his Syrian counterpart Walid al-Muallem, that such accusations are baseless, calling for the immediate start of the implementation of peace initiatives regarding Libya.
He said, "In Libya and in other countries, from Africa to Europe and through the United States, accusations are directed against Russia constantly, and you are aware and see that very well .. No facts have been presented to us in this regard."
"We consider it necessary to start implementing peace initiatives on the basis of the permanent and unconditional ceasefire," the Russian minister added.
It is noteworthy that the city of Bouznika, on the outskirts of the Moroccan capital, Rabat, has been hosting, two days ago, consultations between the Libyan parties, and Moroccan sources indicated that it might extend for a third day.
