LIBYA-CONFLICT

A member of the Libyan security forces points towards a crater on the ground following an air strike at Mitiga International Airport in the capital Tripoli on April 8, 2019. A warplane carried out an air strike against the Libyan capital's only functioning airport and halted all flights, aviation authorities said, as fighting raged for control of Tripoli. A security source at Mitiga airport east of the city said no side had 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.
