The UN Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) has urged all parties to de-escalate tensions in Tripoli following reports of armed mobilization.

In a statement on X, UNSMIL called for restraint and dialogue, stressing the need to protect civilians and support local peace efforts, according to Xinhua.

Local media reported seeing military vehicles and fighters throughout the city. There have been no official statements made.

Since Muammar Gaddafi's fall in 2011, Libya has been divided between opposing regimes in the east and west, Xinhua reported.
