Warlord Haftar's forces announce a no-fly zone over western Libya, as the battle for its capital Tripoli drags on

This picture taken on October 29, 2019 shows a view of a hangar at the Libyan capital Tripoli's Mitiga International Airport.

In a statement, the UN-recognised GNA Interior Ministry said any action threatening civil aviation and airports "amounts to crimes punishable under national and international law". Since the ouster of late ruler Muammar Gaddafi in 2011, two seats of power have emerged in Libya, one being in eastern Libya supported mainly by Egypt and the United Arab Emirates, and another in Tripoli, which enjoys UN and international recognition.
