Haftar-Led Libyan National Army Says It Destroyed a Turkish Vessel With Weapons in Port of Tripoli
A Turkish cargo ship carrying ammunition and weapons coming from Turkey was targeted by the Libyan National Army (LNA) at the Tripoli port Tuesday, Al Arabiya sources reported.
“The Turkish ship loaded with weapons and ammunition docked this morning in the port of Tripoli was destroyed,” said a statement from the LNA's media center.
UN Libya envoy Ghassan Salame confirmed the port was attacked, without giving additional details.
The presence of the Turkish ammunition ship comes despite the European Union's attempts to enforce an arms ban on Libya.
