The United Nations mission in Libya called for de-escalation Monday after fighting erupted in the North African nation’s capital.
The UN Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) is “alarmed by the unfolding security situation in Tripoli with intense fighting with heavy weaponry in densely populated civilian areas,” it said in a post on X late Monday.
“The Mission calls on all parties to immediately cease fighting and restore calm, and reminds all parties of their obligations to protect civilians at all times,” UNSMIL added.
“Attacks on civilians and civilian objects may amount to war crimes.”
