An intense bombardment shook Tripoli through the night and a new battle erupted at an airbase outside the capital, hours after Libya reported its first case of coronavirus and despite U.N. calls for ceasefires around the world during the epidemic.

In a statement to “Tabadul”, the media adviser of the Ministry of Health, Amin Al-Hashemi, confirmed that 4  cases of moderate injuries were registered by bombing Al Sabaa region in Tripoli earlier today, noting that the number is likely to increase. Yet, there have been no reported deaths.

In a statement, The Volcano of Rage Operation reported that they targeted Al Sabaa regions, Bab Ben Ghashir, Ras Hassan, Tariq Al-Souq as well as Bier Altota.
