In a statement issued today on the Airport’s Facebook page, flights are suspended until further notice at the only functioning airport in Libya’s capital, Tripoli, due to rockets falling nearby.

The closure of Mitiga Airport comes a day after Turkey’s parliament voted to allow a troop deployment to Libya, deepening fears of an escalation of fighting in the North African country.

Mitiga Airport was repeatedly closed and reopened in recent years because of risks from shelling and air strikes.
