[PUBLISH.TWITTER] Mysterious airstrike hits Libyan airbase controlled by Turkish-backed forces
[ALMASDARNEWS] A mysterious attack was carried out over the al-Watiyah Airbase in western Libya last night, causing a number of explosions southwest of the capital city, Tripoli
...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn...
Citing an unnamed source, the Sputnik News Agency quoted the local as saying: "The residents of the city of al-Rajban and its environs have heard the sound of explosions and flights flying near the al-Watiyah military base."

The source pointed out that "unknown aircraft bombed sites near the al-Watiyah military base in the western part of the country with a continued flight over the western mountains."

No entity has grabbed credit for this attack.

The al-Watiyah Airbase is currently under the control of the Ottoman Turkish-backed Government of National Accord (GNA) forces.

They took control of the al-Watiyah Airbase during their large-scale counter-offensive against the Libyan National Army (LNA) in April and May.
