🇱🇾 Clashes erupt in south Tripoli Clashes erupted in Libya’s capital Tripoli late Monday night, locals said, and flights to the city’s main airport were suspended after it was reported that a commander of a powerful armed group had been captured by rival forces. “We have been hearing gunfire for almost two hours now and we don’t know what is going to happen. We fear for our safety,“ the people said. Mahmoud Hamza, commander of the 444th Brigade, which controls most of Tripoli, was detained at Mitiga airport by another powerful group, the Special Forces. Sources in Mitiga said all flights to and from the airport had been diverted to Misrata, 180 kilometres to the east. Tripoli’s ambulance and emergency services reported that a safe corridor had been provided to evacuate civilians in the clash area. #3 Our channel: Node of Time EN Источник: Node of Time EN
