At least seven people have been killed and 30 hurt in clashes between rival militias at Libya’s airport near the capital, Tripoli, officials say.
Rebels from the Zintan region who control the international airport have been attacked by a rival group trying to take over the area.
Flights have been suspended amid reports of heavy shelling and gunfire.
Libyan leaders have struggled to bring stability to the country since Muammar Gaddafi was removed from power in 2011.
