Al Jazeera: Tripoli airport bombed ahead of UN-backed peace talks
Libya talks set to start in Morocco, as UN envoy says the situation on the ground is "deteriorating rapidly".
Warplanes from Libya's internationally recognised parliament in Tobruk have carried out air strikes on a Tripoli airport, a security official said, just hours before United Nations-backed peace talks were due to start in Morocco.
The jets hit an open area near the runway at Maitiga airport on Thursday but caused no major damage and the airport was operating normally, a security source at the airport told the Reuters news agency.
