"The forces of the Government of National Accord (GNA) are preparing to fight a real battle in Sirte and Al-Jufra," said Mustafa Al-Maji, the spokesman for the Volcano of Anger's media center.

In a statement to the Turkish TRT channel, Al-Maji added, "The UAE and Egypt are the most outraged countries in regards to the cooperation between GNA and Turkey."

Commenting on targeting of Watiya airbase, he noted: "We know the identity of the foreign aircraft that bombed the Watiya Air Force Base and the strikes are a flagrant violation of Libyan sovereignty, but they have no military value."
