The pilot at the Air Force of Khalifa Haftar's forces, who was detained after his MIG23 had been downed days ago, said the Russians and Emiratis are operating the battle; Russia plans tactics and UAE operates drones. "Several Russians were killed and others were injured as they came under artillery shelling by Volcano of Rage Operation in Qasir Benghashir. While, a number of UAE officers were also killed in airstrikes by Volcano of Rage Operation warplanes on Al-Jufra airbase. Remaining UAE officers left the airbase afterwards." "The pilot who carried out Furnaj airstrike that killed three children was a Libyan national and he took off from Al-Watiya airbase."
