Clashes in Tripoli After Militia Leader Killed

Six people were killed in overnight clashes in Tripoli, Libya, following the death of Abdulghani El-Kikli, leader of the militia group Stability Support Unit. Fighting broke out in the Abu Selim area between El-Kikli’s group and forces linked to the Defense Ministry.

Libya’s National Unity Government confirmed its forces regained control of the district. Emergency teams evacuated trapped civilians, and schools in the capital were closed due to security concerns.

Libya remains divided between rival governments in the east and west since the fall of Muammar Gaddafi in 2011.
