 Between 14 and 18 April 2019, further airstrikes were conducted by both pro-GNA and pro-LNA air forces across western Libya.On 18 April 2019, pro-GNA sources claimed that their forces managed to attack and briefly capture the pro-LNA Tamanhit air force base in central Libya, capturing or destroying a large quantity of pro-LNA military equipment in the airbase before pro-LNA forces managed to recapture it.Also on 18 April, unknown combat UAVs bombed pro-GNA positions near the town of Rabi'a and Tajoura, south-east of Tripoli—according to Libyan sources, the drone strikes were carried out by French air force MQ-9 Reaper UCAV, but other observers believe that's not the case, instead claiming that UCAVs of the United Arab Emirates air force, which are known to be stationed at pro-LNA al-Khadim air force base in western Libya, have conducted those drone strikes on pro-GNA forces on April 18.
