Eight mass graves found in Libya

The United Nations voiced "horror" after reports that eight mass graves had been discovered in an area recently seized by the unity government after forces loyal to strongman Khalifa Haftar withdrew. Pro-Haftar forces backed by Russia, Egypt and UAE had been battling since April in fighting that has left hundreds dead and forced 200,000 to flee their homes. In recent weeks the GNA, reinforced with Turkish drones and air defences, has staged a pounding counter-attack to regain control of the whole of the northwest.
