Rockets were fired at Mitiga International Airport yesterday evening by Haftar's forces stationed in Ain Zara area.

Sources said that the attack comes in response to the aerial bombardment carried out by the Libyan Air Force on Haftar's militias posts in Qasr bin Ghashir area yesterday.

A number of foreign mercenaries fighting alongside Haftar's militias were reported to have been killed in the Libyan Air forces attack.

The mercenaries were hired to operate sophisticated weapons, recently received from countries supporting Haftar in his war against Tripoli.
