Libyan authorities have discovered a mass grave containing the remains of 21 migrants from sub-Saharan Africa, according to local media reports.
Government sources say a Libyan national has been arrested on suspicion of killing the migrants and detaining others on a farm in the northeastern town of Ajdabiya.
Libya remains a key transit route for thousands of migrants attempting to reach Europe each year, with migrant deaths frequently reported along the way.
Eastern Libya’s Internal Security Agency confirmed the discovery of a mass grave holding the bodies of 21 individuals of various African nationalities, as reported by local television channel Al-Masar.
