The United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) mandate has been extended until October 2027, with the Security Council reaffirming its support for the political roadmap, per Libya Observer.

UNSMIL officials have also agreed on the final draft of Libya's civil society law, a move seen as a step toward greater political openness and institutional reform, Libya Observer reports.

Libya’s airspace transit requests have reached 61,968 flights per month, reflecting growing air traffic and regional connectivity, Libyaherald notes.

EgyptAir made an emergency landing at Kufra Airport recently, indicating ongoing aviation activity in the region, Libyaherald adds.
