The UN Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) expressed concern Tuesday over ongoing clashes in the North African nation’s capital. "UNSMIL is deeply alarmed by escalating violence in densely populated neighborhoods of Tripoli for the second night in a row, placing countless civilians at grave risk," it said on X.

Clashes erupted between the 444th Brigade and the Stability Support Apparatus, two of the most powerful Tripoli militias.
