Dozens of civilians were reportedly injured in a NATO airstrike near Sabha.

A video by Libya Tears showed footage of civilians being treated in a hospital after an alleged  airstrike. The caption reads: “This is what NATO has done to protect civilians with Security Council Resolutions 1970 and 1973. At the instigation of our brothers and God, the killing of children and the displacement of safe families instil fear in the hearts of children and hit them with the strongest bombs carrying the explosive uranium and destroy everything the people of Libya need.”

NATO did not report conducting any strikes near Sabha on that day.

There is currently no additional public information known for this event.
