A Libyan militia spokesperson says rockets targeting positions of an
Islamist-led militia in the capital, Tripoli, have killed six people.
The
attack is part of weeks-long fighting between rival militias in
Tripoli, which has forced thousands to flee the country, including
diplomats, foreign nationals and Libyans.
Ahmed Hadiya, the
spokesperson for Fajr Libya militia, says the rockets were launched late
Sunday from the Wittiya air base west of Tripoli. He did not provide
more details.
A militiaman from the coastal city of Misrata says
two warplanes belonging to renegade General Khalifa Hifter's followers
took part in the attack. The militiaman spoke on condition of anonymity
because he is not authorised to talk to media.
Egypt on Monday cancelled all flights to Libya, saying Libyan authorities had closed the country's airspace.
