STORYLINE:

The Libyan Defense Ministry said Saturday that it launched a large-scale anti-crime military operation in the country's West Coast Military Zone.

The first phase of the operation will begin in the city of Zawiya, some 45 km west of the capital of Tripoli, the ministry said in a statement.

The statement denied any political objectives behind the operation, stressing that it aims to maintain security and stability in the area.

The West Coast Military Zone has witnessed increasing fuel smuggling, drug trafficking, and illegal migration. The defense ministry has asked residents of Zawiya to ensure their safety by avoiding suspicious locations and hideouts during military operations.

Zawiya has recently witnessed violent armed clashes, the last of which inflicted heavy damage last month on the Zawiya refinery, Libya's second-largest refinery built in 1974.
