Libya's unity government said Monday its forces had seized two western cities on the coast between Tripoli and the Tunisian border from troops backing military commander Khalifa Haftar.
"Our forces took control of Sorman and Sabratha and are pursuing (Haftar's forces)," said a statement by Mohammed Gnunu, spokesman for the forces of the UN-recognized Government of National Accord.
