The forces of retired Major General Khalifa Haftar bombed the Tripoli sea port with several missile shells, targeting the port's facilities, installations and internal berth, while the UN envoy to Libya, Ghassan Salameh, stressed that the truce in Libya is very fragile.

Pictures showed smoke rising from a ship anchored in the port of Tripoli. A source from the port said that tankers carrying fuel and gas were removed from the port as a precautionary measure.

For his part, an official source in the port of Tripoli confirmed that the bombing of Haftar forces to the city's port did not cause any injuries or material damage, while Reuters news agency indicated that thick smoke was rising from the port area and quoted a source in the port as saying that a warehouse was struck in the attack.

Meanwhile, the UN envoy to Libya, Ghassan Salameh, said that the truce in Libya is very fragile and there are daily attacks on Tripoli and attacks on the city's port, stressing that there is a violation of the Security Council resolution that prohibits the export of arms to Libya.

Armistice and breaches
Salameh indicated that the United Nations has registered 150 violations of the armistice in Libya since January 12, calling on the international parties to exert pressure to abide by the armistice.

According to Salama's statements, the situation in Libya, which has been in turmoil since 2011, is very complex, indicating that he had received conditions from tribesmen in the east regarding ending the closure of oil facilities.

On a Turkish-Russian initiative, on January 12, a ceasefire between the government and Haftar forces began, which is contesting the government over the legitimacy and authority of the oil-rich country.

On a daily basis, Haftar's forces are violating the ceasefire by launching attacks on the capital, Tripoli (west), the headquarters of the internationally recognized government of Al-Wefaq, as part of a military operation that has continued since April 4, 2019, to control the capital.

On February 11, the Security Council voted in favor of 14 countries and Russia’s abstention, in favor of Resolution 2509 to extend the sanctions regime imposed on Libya.

In its resolution, the council extended the arms embargo to Libya until April 30, 2021.
