Sixteen migrants have been found dead in the desert near Libya's border with Egypt.
The
bodies were found about 310 kilometres southwest of the coastal city of
Tobruk, according to Libyan National Army spokesman Ahmed al-Mismari.
The area is being searched and there were no more details about the migrants' identities, he said.
In the past, patrols and rescuers have recovered the bodies of Egyptian migrants who have perished after being stranded or abandoned by smugglers in Libya's eastern desert.
Some migrate to Libya to search for work, and some try to reach Europe by boat.
