TRIPOLI: Libya´s unity government said Thursday that five women were killed and five civilians wounded in Tripoli the previous day in bombardment by the forces of eastern-based military strongman Khalifa Haftar.
Amine Al-Hachemi, spokesman for the health ministry of the Tripoli-based Government of National Accord, said "rockets and shells hit houses in the neighbourhoods of Ain Zara and Bab Ben Ghachir."
War-torn Libya is largely divided between forces backing the United Nations-recognised GNA and those led by Haftar, who backs a rival administration in the country´s east. Since last April, Haftar´s forces have led an offensive to capture the Libyan capital, with the GNA accusing them of carrying out indiscriminate bombing.
