The headquarters of Libya's General National Congress (interim parliament) was evacuated Sunday evening after a shell fell into the building.

"The shell landed into the courtyard while lawmakers were discussing the dissolution of militias," Abdel-Rahman al-Sowehli, chairman of the Defense Committee, told Anadolu Agency.

A parliamentary source said that the session was suspended following the attack.

No casualties were reported.
