Airwars assessment
One civilian was allegedly injured by indiscriminate artillery shelling on the Mitiga Airport in Tripoli. The rival GNA accused the LNA of being the culprit.
Libya Alahrar TV reported: “One injured as a result of the shelling of Mitiga airport during the arrival of pilgrims this morning.”
Other sources, such as Marsad, only reported shelling as well as damage to the airport and adjacent roads: “Mitiga International Airport confirmed that the shelling by an unidentified shell came in conjunction with the arrival of Al-Buraq Airlines flight from Istanbul and Libyan Airlines coming with a group of 265 pilgrims from Jeddah.”
The local time of the incident is unknown.
