05 September 2021 In Sabrata, in north-western Libya, an illegal factory, dedicated to the construction of boats for the transfer of irregular migrants, was targeted by unidentified drones that attacked the site twice.

'The Libya Observer' reported it on the web and specified: "According to local sources, the drones that targeted the industrial district did not cause deaths or injuries". "A strong explosion was heard throughout the city," the media explained. "No one has yet claimed responsibility for these two raids", concludes 'The Libya Observer'.

Sabrata security sources revealed to the Al Marsad site that the illegal factory may have been run by human trafficker Ahmed al-Dabbashi known as "Ammu '" (the uncle), who was hit by UN sanctions in 2018.

The same sources also told Al Marsad site that they were unable to identify those responsible for the air attack and that the military authorities deny that it could have been Turkey.
