Gunmen have attacked a military checkpoint south-east of the Libyan capital Tripoli killing at least 12 soldiers, reports say.
A military official said the attack was near Bani Walid, a stronghold of supporters of former leader, Muammar Gaddafi.
Several more soldiers are reported to have been injured.
It is not clear who carried out the attack, but the government has struggled to control armed groups.
The official, describing it as an ambush, said the attack took place on a road between Bani Walid city and the town of Tarhouna.
The soldiers came under heavy fire from the gunmen who drove vehicles equipped with machine guns, the official said.
The lack of central government control over large swathes of Libya has left room for armed groups linked to clans and Islamist militants to thrive, analysts say.
