Forces of the Turkish-backed Government of National Accord (GNA) captured a Mi-8 helicopter of the Libyan National Army (LNA). The helicopter crash landed near the village of Abugrein, in the western countryside of Sirte, and then was abandoned by LNA service members.
This Mi-8 became the second LNA helicopter that was captured by the GNA due to a technical malfunction. The previous one, a Mi-17, crash landed and was abandoned by LNA forces west of Sirte in August.
