At least 13 members of Libya's army were killed by "terrorist" violence on Tuesday in the east of the war-torn country, an army spokesman said, according to AFP.
"Most of the soldiers were killed by landmines planted by terrorist organisations," spokesman Miloud al-Zawi told LANA, the official news agency of the internationally recognized government.
Zawi said that 16 security personnel died in all, but only named 13 that were killed on Tuesday. It was unclear when or how the other three died.
