We don’t know what is happening in Libya these days but there is definitely inusual activity in the area.

In the past few days, at least three USAF Boeing C-17As have landed in Benghazi while a USArmy CL.60 ARTEMIS carried out a long surveillance mission off eastern Libya.

New chapter today, with a NATO Northrop Grumman RQ-4D (reg. MM-AV-SA0015) which took off from Sigonella AB at around 13:00 heading south towards Libya (turning off the ADS-B transponder after about half an hour). The drone reappeared after about 5 hours and headed towards the Black Sea where it will carry out a surveillance mission tonight.
