Security Alert Along Libyan Coastline
Libyan authorities have made a significant security discovery near the Egyptian border, with military equipment including explosive barrels washing ashore near Bardiyah. The findings have raised concerns about potential security threats along Libya’s eastern coastline.
Details of the Seized Equipment
The recovered items include:
- A sophisticated radar system
- Multiple explosive barrels featuring images of former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad
Local sources report the barrels carried a political message: “Tell your leaders they will lose if relations with Russia continue.” This has sparked speculation about the origin and intended recipients of these materials.

Investigation Underway
Tobruk-based activists suggest the equipment may have been transported from Syria, though official investigations are ongoing. This incident highlights the ongoing security challenges in Libya’s border regions and the potential for external actors to influence local conflicts.
Authorities continue to monitor the situation closely, with increased patrols along the Butnan coast to ensure public safety.
