The Libyan government, which is backed by the United Nations, says at least 28 people have been killed and dozens more injured in an air strike on a military school in the capital, Tripoli. "An airstrike on a military school in Tripoli has killed 28 cadets and wounded dozens more," said Amin al-Hashemi, a spokesman for the Health Ministry. The Tripoli-based government has blamed the attack on the Libyan National Army, which did not immediately respond to these accusations, Rel writes. Tripoli has been the scene of fierce fighting since April 2019, between internationally-backed government forces and fighters of the Libyan National Army led by General Khalifa Haftar. On January 3, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres again called for a ceasefire in Libya and urged all parties involved in the conflict to return to the negotiating table in an effort to end the conflict in Libya.
