Al-Jazeera correspondent in Libya reported the fall of a number of indiscriminate shells on Mitiga International Airport east of the capital Tripoli. He added that a number of civilians were injured by indiscriminate shelling that targeted an altar for the sacrifices in the Friday market area, without any claim of responsibility for the bombing, which is in violation of the truce called by the United Nations during the Eid al-Adha.

The UN-backed government of national reconciliation in Tripoli accused forces loyal to retired brigade Khalifa Hifter of bombing the Mitiga international airport and another area west of the capital Tripoli in violation of the humanitarian truce.

There was no official comment from Hifter's forces on charges of violating the truce.

"Unfortunately, Hifter militias broke the truce in two different locations, the first market area Friday market (west of the capital Tripoli), where a house was hit by shells, wounding three civilians, and the second Mitiga airport International, which was twice bombed, which led to its closure. "

The management of Mitiga International Airport through the official airport page on Facebook, the closure of air navigation as a result of the fall of the shells inside the airport, also published pictures showing smoke plumes rising behind one of the aircraft lying on the runway.

The spokesman also pointed out that the forces of the Wefaq government "are committed to the truce so far, but they have every means to respond to the sources of the threat at any time."

Benghazi attack
In a related context, the UN Security Council strongly condemned what he described as the deadly and unacceptable attack on the UN mission in Benghazi, which killed three staff members of the mission and wounded others.

The Security Council held an emergency session to discuss the situation in Libya, at the invitation of France and Russia.

Pinto Keita, UN Under-Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Operations, described the Benghazi bombing as "terrible." The bombing took place in an area supposedly under full security control by the forces of retired Libyan general Khalifa Hifter.

Since early April, Hifter's forces have launched an offensive to control Tripoli, which is under the control of the internationally recognized government of national reconciliation.

The fighting since the outbreak of the fall of about 1093 dead and 5762 injured - including civilians - while the number of displaced people approached 120 thousand people, according to UN agencies.
