Al-Mismari announced in a press briefing today, Sunday, the imposition of a 200-km no-fly zone over the city of Sirte and its environs, starting from the east of the city and extending to the Al-Hishah area.

He stressed that the battle being waged by the "National Army" is not "a national battle, but rather a very serious battle that transcends national and even regional borders."

He stressed that the Turkish aggression and its direct occupation of Libyan lands is a security threat not only to Libya, Egypt and the Arab region, but also to Europe.

He added that the position recently announced by Cairo comes "in recognition that this battle is an Arab nationalist battle."
