The “Northrop Grumman MQ-4C Triton” surveillance plane, belonging to the US Navy, carried out a reconnaissance mission in the central Mediterranean Sea, flying over the waters off the Libyan coast.

The plane took off from Sigonella Air Base in Italy, and the flight path showed it crossing the coastal region of Libya and the area between Malta and Sicily.

According to the Itamiradar website, which specializes in monitoring flights, the plane’s presence in these areas is a response to the growing geopolitical tensions and strategic concerns in the region.
