Those detained included the mayor and an official in charge of water resources, it said, without identifying them. Derna was controlled until 2019 by fighters from a series of groups including Islamic State.

A view of Derna, a city on the coast of Libya that suffered catastrophic flooding. Esam Omran Al-Fetori/ReutersMapping Where Floods Have Devastated a Libyan Port CityThe layout of the city of Derna, on the northeastern coast of Libya, amplified the extreme damage wrought by flooding there over the weekend. The floods have killed at least 2,300 people, according to a Libyan ambulance and emergency services department, and 10,000 more are believed to be missing. As the port city was inundated by Storm Daniel, which made landfall in Libya on Sunday, riverbanks swelled, bridges were washed out and two dams farther up the wadi burst, adding their waters to the deluge.
