Airstrike hits Tripoli house killing at least 3

(14 Oct 2019) An airstrike slammed into a house in the Libyan capital Tripoli on Monday, killing at least three civilians and wounding two others including a child, health authorities said. The airstrike took place in the Firnaj district, a few kilometres (miles) from the city centre, said a health ministry spokesperson. He said the wounded were a mother and her child, who were taken to a nearby hospital. The Red Crescent in Tripoli said the dead were children. Tripoli has been the scene of fighting between rival militias since April. The U.N.-supported government holds the capital, while forces associated with General Khalifa Hifter are trying to seize it. The Tripoli-based government blamed the airstrike on Hifter's forces, the so-called Libyan National Army (LNA). The LNA said the strike targeted a military camp that the Tripoli militias used as an 'operation room'. It denied targeting a civilian residence.
