One civilian was reported injured from indiscriminate LNA shelling in the Airport road area of Tripoli despite an ongoing ceasefire.

Al Wasat said: “The National Oil Corporation announced that shells fell on the airport road warehouse south of Tripoli, which belongs to Al Barika Oil Marketing Company, on Thursday evening, which led to the burning of seven trucks belonging to the company and wounding a member of the security of the oil installations with shrapnel while helping firefighters to enter the warehouse.”

Libya Alahrar TV posted that “a number of transportation trucks are on fire in Al Barika oil complex, as a result of the firing of mortar shells by a militia on the complex.”

The rival GNA-led Burkan Al Ghadab operation accused the LNA of conducting the shelling.
