notes: Libyas unity government (Operation Solid Structure) said its forces on 8 June captured two military barracks from Islamic State fighters near Sirte. Military forces took full control of Tagreft barracks, and military engineers inspected the zone to clear anti-personnel mines. The Al-Jalet barracks was also seized as well as a bridge and an intersection that leads to the western entrance to the city of Sirte, in operations backed by seven strikes by the Libyan air force. The GNA forces said one of the air raids destroyed a booby-trapped truck before it reached their lines.
