2019 Zuwarah airstrike
On 16 August 2019, a drone airstrike by the Libyan National Army (LNA) attacked a warehouse housing Turkish drones in Zuwarah Airport west of Tripoli. Turkey was a major supplier of the Government of National Accord during Western Libya campaign. The warehouses were completely destroyed by the accurate airstrike. This led to the escape of the remaining militia groups after the heavy losses they suffered. The LNA's airforce also hit stores in eastern Abu Kammash where drones and ammunitions were found.
