Libyan air force Commander Saqr al Joroushi said the Italian war jets flew at a low altitude over three Italian naval ships which violated the Libyan territorial waters off Derna coasts to warn them, but they did not shoot at them.

In statements on Sunday, Joroushi said the three naval ships left the territorial waters after they had been warned.

He said the Libyan naval troops detected three Italian military ships off Benghazi coast and they were reported to have entered the territorial waters without coordination with the Libyan army.
