Three people were wounded in raids by forces loyal to strongman Khalifa Haftar against two airports controlled by the unity government in northern Libya, the UN-recognised government said Friday. Tripoli's sole functioning airport Mitiga and Zuwara airfield were targeted for the second time in less than 48 hours - the former hit overnight Thursday and the latter on Friday morning. Airport management at Mitiga reported rocket fire against the runway "as planes took off and landed". The UN-recognised Government of National Accord (GNA) said on Facebook that Haftar's forces "targeted employees of the airport services company" at Mitiga with Grad missiles, causing shrapnel wounds to two workers and damaging a bus.
