Health officials in Libya said on Sunday heavy clashes between Army troops loyal to a renegade general and militias have killed 38 people, including civilians in the country’s restive east.
A security official said that the fighting involved forces loyal to Gen. Khalifa Hifter and militias in the eastern city of Benghazi. The clashes started on Saturday and continued through early Sunday morning.
The official said commando forces regained control of four military camps captured by militias in the past few days. Health officials said rockets fired during the fighting hit civilian homes, causing casualties and wounding dozens of people.
