This may mark the worst fighting in two years, where two sides are vying for control of the oil-rich North African nation: Prime Minister Abdel Hamid Dbeibah's Tripoli-based National Unity Government, and Fathi Bashagha's administration that is supported by the Libyan parliament based in Tobruk.

On Saturday evening, a major militant group based in Tripoli assaulted a rival base, using small arms, machine guns, and mortars.

Libyan military sources confirmed Saturday that the forces of Major-General Salem Jeha, loyal to the Libyan designate-government headed by Fathi Bashagha, are approaching the eastern entrance of the Libyan capital, Tripoli, and are ready to march in. 

The sources told Sputnik that since the early morning hours, the forces have been moving with all military might, with its weapons and vehicles, heading from Misrata to Tripoli, the capital, and will not stop until they reach it.

The sources added that if the forces are attacked, they will deal with the fire source.

On the other hand, a Libyan military source in Misrata confirmed that the "Himayat Al-Dustoor" forces, - or, what translates to "Constitution Protection" forces - loyal to the National Unity Government headed by Abdel Hamid Dbeibah, are preparing to deploy towards Tripoli and close the coastal road.
