Airstrike death toll in Libya’s besieged capital rises to 30

The death toll from an airstrike that slammed into a military facility in Libya’s capital climbed to at least 30 people, most of them military trainees, health authorities said Sunday, as fighting over control of Tripoli between rival armed groups escalated. Eastern Libyan forces led by Gen. Khalifa Hifter launched an offensive in April to take the capital from the weak, U.N.-supported government. Libya is governed by rival authorities in the east and in Tripoli in the west, with each relying on different militias.
