According to Ahmed Al-Mismari, the spokesperson for Haftar’s forces, the 'Mabrooka' entered a restricted zone and failed to respond to communications, leading to its seizure and subsequent relocation to the port of Ras al-Hilal on December 8. The ship underwent investigation and inspection for purported violations of maritime regulations. Notably, the 'Mabrooka' was carrying a cargo of medical supplies intended for delivery to Misrata.
