Libya: Libyan army shells Haftar militias at Tripoli airport
Libyan government forces pounded positions of warlord Khalifa Haftar’s militias at Tripoli airport, south of the Libyan capital, according to the military on Sunday.
Three armored vehicles belonging to Haftar were destroyed in the artillery attacks, the government-led Operation Volcano of Rage said in a statement.
Meanwhile, military spokesman Mohammed Gununu called on members of Haftar’s militias to lay down arms, pledging a fair trial for those who surrender.
The call came one day after government forces said they were advancing in several areas near Tripoli airport.
