Artillery shelling hits only functioning airport in Libya’s capital
According to the airport’s management, flights at the airport were suspended for a few hours due to the shelling.
The flights were redirected to Misurata Airport for a short time before they were resumed at Mitiga Airport.
No party has claimed responsibility for the attack so far, but the airport has been targeted over 5 times by Khalifa Haftar’s forces since the start of their war on Tripoli on April 04.
