At least seven workers were killed and another 35 wounded in an air strike that hit a biscuit factory on Monday in a southern suburb of the Libyan capital, Tripoli, emergency services said. LNA air strikes have repeatedly hit civilian areas in Tripoli. Officials in eastern Libya contacted by Reuters on Monday said they had no information about an air strike by their forces. Last week the United States called on the LNA to halt its offensive on Tripoli, warning against Russian interference. The conflict in and around Tripoli has killed and wounded hundreds of civilians and displaced more than 120,000.
