Fatal bombing on hospital in Libya

 

The Libya Observer through its Facebook page is reporting that four medics were killed and eight others wounded in an airstrike by Haftar’s air force on a field hospital in the Airport Road in Tripoli.

Further details of the bombing  are still to emerge.

Tripoli is currently under attack by forces under the command of Khalifa Haftar who in April launched an offensive to gain control of the Libyan capital.

On Saturday, Haftar’s air force conducted drone strikes on Misrata Airforce Academy, the first airstrikes on the city since the start of Tripoli offensive on April 04.

The airstrikes came in response to the drone strikes of Libyan Air Force on Al-Jufra Airbase.

The attackers claimed they destroyed Turkish drones and an air defence system, but sources from Misrata Airforce Academy said the airstrikes have caused no damage.
