TRIPOLI, Nov. 11 (Xinhua) -- The coast guard unit in the western Libyan city of Zuwara, 120 km west of Tripoli, announced on Tuesday that the Zuwara fishing port and the Abu Kammash area were hit by new airstrikes on Monday evening.
In a brief statement posted on its official Facebook page, the unit said the strikes targeted sites in the port and the nearby coastal area, offering no further details.
The development comes days after the Ministry of Defense of the Government of National Unity announced that it had carried out airstrikes against sites allegedly used for "smuggling activities" in northwestern Libya, including ports in Zuwara.
Zuwara is home to one of Libya's most active fishing ports, which has often been accused by authorities in Tripoli of being used for fuel and human smuggling. ■
