The death toll of the people killed in the air attack that hit the town of Murzuk in southern Libya rose to 43 dead and 61 injured. The agency DPA reports, citing a local official. The Tripoli government has accused the forces of General Haftar, who in turn claim to have hit terrorist groups.

Mohammed Omar, a member of the local municipal council, told the DPA that the attack hit a meeting of council members and residents who had met to discuss problems in the region. Member of Parliament Rahma Abu Bakr, quoted by the DPA, spoke of the presence of three or four children among the victims.

"The attack hit an inhabited area," said Abu Bakr, claiming it was a "revenge" for the Tebu community's resistance to Haftar's forces that took control of the area where Murzuk is located earlier this year. . Previously, the Libyan Express news portal reported an airstrike during a wedding party.
