Airstrike kills dozens of migrants at detention center in Libya

An airstrike killed at least 31 migrants held at a detention center near the Libyan capital of Tripoli.

“With this unjust, bloody murder, the futility of the ongoing war has reached … its most tragic consequences,” he said. Tuesday’s attack comes after Haftar’s forces said they would escalate their air campaign this week after “having expended all traditional means in our war to liberate” Tripoli.
