Impact of Tripoli rocket attack shown by Anadolu Agency

TRIPOLI, Libya

Footage shot by Anadolu Agency camera operators show the aftermath of destruction from Tuesday’s deadly rocket attacks in the Libyan capital Tripoli.

At least six civilians were killed and 35 injured by rocket attacks on the neighborhood of Abu Salim as well as the districts of Algrarat and Salahuddin in the capital late Tuesday.

Damaged buildings and vehicles hit by rockets were captured by Anadolu Agency reporters on the ground.

The UN-recognized Government of National Accord (GNA) accused East Libya-based forces led by commander Khalifa Haftar of carrying out the attacks.

The attacks came amid fighting in the capital since Haftar launched a military campaign earlier this month to capture Tripoli, where the GNA is based.

On Monday, the GNA said at least 76 people, including 24 civilians, had been killed since clashes erupted on the outskirts of Tripoli.

The UN on Wednesday described the latest series of rocket fire in Tripoli as the "heaviest fighting" since the fighting began, and strongly condemned the shelling.

Since the 2011 ouster of late strongman Muammar Gaddafi, two seats of power have emerged Libya: one in eastern Libya, and another in Tripoli, which enjoys UN recognition.
