Libya’s Tripoli airport closed due to unidentified drone Residents have repeatedly spotted drones flying over Tripoli in the past few days but the reason is not clear. sabcnews

Residents have repeatedly spotted drones flying over Tripoli in the past few days but the reason is not clear.

Flights from Tripoli’s Matiga airport have been halted until further notice, said its director Lutfi al-Tayeb. People in the capital have been on edge due to rumours that the eastern-based Libya National Army loyal to Khalifa Haftar might seek to take it after gaining control of much of the south. Haftar has not said he wants to march on Tripoli but a LNA website carried a report this week saying it could happen, adding that the LNA was working with people inside the city.

The United Nations, alarmed about the possibility of a military escalation, is mediating between Haftar, who is allied to a parallel government in the east, and Tripoli premier Fayez al-Serraj who heads the UN-backed administration.
