Tripoli: At least 42 people were killed and dozens wounded in an airstrike targeting a town hall meeting in southern Libya, a local official and the UN-recognised government said yesterday, accusing forces of military strongman Khalifa Haftar.
The Government of National Accord (GNA) said the raid struck the residential district of Qalaa in the town of Murzuq.
He said a government building at which more than 200 local dignitaries were gathered “to settle social differences” was targeted three times.
