Haftar's forces suffer major losses as they attack Abu Grein
[Libya Observer] The Libyan Army under the command of the Government of National Accord (GNA) has regained full control of Abu Grein town after a failed advance attempt and attacks by Khalifa Haftar
...Self-proclaimed Field Marshal, served in the Libyan army under Muammar Qadaffy, and took part in the coup that brought Qadaffy to power in 1969. He became a prisoner of war in Chad in 1987. While held prisoner, he and his fellow officers formed a group hoping to overthrow Qadaffy, so it's kind of hard to describe him as a Qadaffy holdover. He was released around 1990 in a deal with the United States government and spent nearly two decades in the United States, gaining US citizenship. In 1993, while living in the United States, he was convicted in absentia of crimes against the Jamahiriya and sentenced to death. Haftar held a senior position in the anti-Qadaffy forces in the 2011 Libyan Civil War. In 2014 he was commander of the Libyan Army when the General National Congress (GNC) refused to give up power in accordance with its term of office. Haftar launched a campaign against the GNC and its Islamic fundamentalist allies. His campaign allowed elections to take place to replace the GNC, but then developed into a civil war. Guess you can't win them all. Actually, he is, but slowly...

Gununu added that forces loyal to Khalifa Haftar had suffered major losses of lives and military equipment in their failed attack on Abu Grein, which saw heavy festivities since early Sunday.

 ...KABOOM! ...
s' cover with a multinational group of mercenaries - mainly Sudanese and Chadian - pushing GNA forces out of Qadahiya and Zamzam areas and then succeeded in entering Abu Grein with a brief control on the town for several hours.
However,
the man who has no enemies isn't anybody and has never done anything...
when GNA forces received military backup from Misrata ans Zliten cities and Air Force drones started to fly over the area, they managed to tip the balance to their benefit and caused Haftar's forces massive losses of both lives and military equipment.
Many photos and videos of burnt and captured vehicles as well as an Egyptian armored vehicle were posted by social media pages loyal to Volcano of Rage Operation forces, not to mention the photos of bodies of Haftar's fighters killed in the fighting.
Meanwhile,
...back at the dirigible, the pilot and the copilot had both hit the silk.
Jack! Cynthia exclaimed. Do you know how to drive one of these things?
Jack wiped some of the blood from his knuckles.
No, he said. Do you? ...
sources from the Libyan Army said their defenses managed to shoot down Mi35 aircraft, which was confirmed by many pro-Haftar social media pages that said the three-pilot crew lost contact with the General Command of Haftar's forces.
