Operation Odyssey Dawn

Operation Odyssey Dawn was a NATO-led military intervention authorized by the United Nations in March 2011 to enforce a no-fly zone and protect civilians during the Libyan civil war. It aimed to prevent Muammar Gaddafi's forces from attacking his people, using air strikes against military targets and enforcing restrictions on Libyan aircraft. The operation marked international efforts to support the uprising against Gaddafi’s regime, emphasizing the prevention of mass atrocities and promoting stability. It lasted several months and involved coalition countries conducting military actions to achieve these humanitarian and security objectives.
