Satellite surveillance has uncovered potential evidence of a significant United Nations arms embargo violation in North Africa. According to a report by the Reuters news agency, a prominent Libyan military commander is suspected of harboring a fleet of combat drones.

The revelation stems from a series of satellite photographs captured over an eight-month span, between April and December. These aerial images identify a minimum of three unmanned aerial vehicles stationed at the Al Khadim airbase.

The presence of this advanced military hardware at the facility points to a direct breach of international sanctions, which were originally established by the UN to curb the dangerous flow of weapons into the conflict-ridden nation.
