Mitiga airport in the Libyan capital Tripoli was functioning normally after a security alert that resulted in the temporary suspension of all activity.

The administration of Mitiga airport now said  that it had resumed flights as normal. Activity at the airport was suspended temporarily after unknown drones were spotted hovering in the area.

Authorities said that the decision was also based on fears of unknown targets of unknown drones hovering in the area of the airport, which could at any time cause a disaster in the air.
