TEHRAN, Dec 3_Overnight air raids in a suburb of Libya's capital have killed at least five civilians and left 10 others wounded, the unity government's health ministry said on Monday.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club(YJC)_Violent air raids on the residential area of al-Swani killed five civilians and injured 10 others, some of them seriously," said spokesman Amin al-Hashemi.
Hashemi reported major damage after the strikes on al-Swani, some 25 kilometers (15 miles) south of central Tripoli. He said there was no military infrastructure in the area.
Tripoli has seen months of deadly fighting since eastern-based military strongman Khalifa Haftar launched an April offensive to seize the capital from armed groups backing the internationally recognized Government of National Accord (GNA).
The GNA said "Emirati drones" backing Haftar had carried out the overnight strikes, saying a woman and a child were among the dead.
Spokesman Mohammad Gnounou said unmanned Emirati aircraft had also carried out two raids on a bridge west of Tripoli.
The United Arab Emirates has backed Haftar in his campaign against pro-GNA groups, which Haftar's forces refer to as "terrorists".
