Summary An unidentified military jet launched an air strike against a military base in western Libya.
TRIPOLI (AFP) - An unidentified military jet launched an air strike on Monday against a military base in western Libya held by anti-government militias, Libyan media reported.
The raid hit a munitions depot held by a militia in the town of Gharyan, southwest of the capital, state news agency LANA reported.
Last month Forces belonging to the mostly Islamist Fajr Libya (Libya Dawn) alliance were targeted by warplanes near Tripoli airport before they defeated nationalist militia rivals at the site, with Washington saying the UAE and Egypt were behind the night raids.
Monday s strike left "a number of casualties" LANA said without elaborating, while private television station Al-Nabaa said 11 people were wounded.
Militias in Gharyan are members of the Fajr Libya alliance which rejects the legitimacy of the elected parliament because it allegedly supported the air raids against its fighters at the airport.
The government, in turn, has accused Sudan and Qatar of supplying weapons to its Islamist opponents.
Parliament and the internationally recognised government relocated to Tobruk 1,500 kilometres (1,000 miles) east of Tripoli to escape deadly violence rocking the capital as rival militias battled for control of the city.
