In Libya, an overnight airstrike killed at least 40 people and injured at least 80 others at a migrant detention center near the capital Tripoli. The facility housed mostly African migrants. The U.N.-backed Government of National Accord is blaming blaming the opposition Libyan National Army, led by the renegade General Khalifa Haftar. Violence around Tripoli has been mounting since Haftar’s forces launched an offensive to capture the city. Human rights groups say both sides may have committed war crimes by attacking heavily populated civilian areas.
