Unidentified air strikes kill 15 fighters in Libya
15 fighters have been killed and 30 others have been wounded
by air strikes carried out by unidentified fighter jets. The air strikes
targeted several militia positions in Tripoli, including the Interior ministry.
The Libyan government has directed the military to investigate the source of
the unknown air strikes. The air strikes came hours after forces from the
city of Misrata said they had seized the main airport.
Most of Libya's neighbours met in Cairo today to discuss
responses to the latest Libyan crisis. Fighting has greatly intensified in
recent weeks as General Khalifa Haftar has declared war on Islamist militant
forces in the war torn country. The General’s forces have been carrying out
attacks on a group called Operation Dawn, which is the group who claimed to
have captured the airport in Misrata.
The recent fighting has been reported as the worst seen
since the overthrow of Muammar Gaddafi in 2011.
