Forces loyal to Libyan General Khalifa Haftar carried out an airstrike on Tripoli's only functioning airport on Monday. Haftar is trying to seize Tripoli from the UN-backed government there. Thousands have already fled the fighting. The current unrest comes against a backdrop of nationwide infighting. Libya has been mired in problems for nearly eight years now, ever since the country's long-time dictator Muammar Gaddafi was toppled from power. Hafter has backing from Russia and Egypt. Moscow has so far denied military support of Haftar and his forces, but media reports suggest that Russia is indeed supporting the Tripoli offensive.
