Forces loyal to Libya's UN-backed Government of National Accord (GNA) managed to advance into the last remaining areas held by the self-proclaimed Islamic State (IS; formerly ISIS/ISIL) in Sirte on Sunday.
Several dozen of the 1,000 loyalists taking part in the offensive reportedly died in combat, which comes just over two weeks after the capture of key areas in the centre of the coastal town.
Government forces began their campaign to capture Sirte in May, with the US Air Force reportedly having conducted at least 82 strikes on IS positions in August alone.
