Libyan capital’s only functioning airport says hit by air raid
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA warplane carries out an airstrike against the Libyan capital’s only functioning airport, authorities at the site say, as fighting rages for control of Tripoli.
A security source at Mitiga airport east of the city says no side has yet claimed responsibility for the raid, which hit a runway without causing casualties.
There has been heavy fighting near Tripoli since the forces of military strongman Khalifa Haftar launched an assault on Thursday aimed at taking the capital.
