Tripoli’s
only working airport was targeted in an airstrike on Monday, as forces
loyal to renegade Libyan general Khalifa Haftar continued their advance on the
capital, ignoring international calls for a truce.
Mitiga
airport, in the eastern quarter of Tripoli, was shuttered after it was attacked
by Haftar’s so-called Libyan National Army (LNA). Libya’s United Nations-backed
government, the Government of National Accord (GNA), quickly condemned the
aerial bombardment, calling it a war crime.
There is also fighting around Tripoli’s international airport, 15 miles south of the city center, which has not been operational for years. The GNA admitted Monday that it temporarily lost control of the site to Haftar’s fighters.
