TRIPOLI, March 7 (Xinhua) -- A spokesman of Libya's UN-backed government's forces Saturday said its forces targeted units of the east-based army in south of the capital Tripoli.
"Our forces destroyed an ammunition store and gatherings of the militias (belonging to the east-based army) in Qasr Bin Ghashir (southern Tripoli)," Mohamed Gonono said in a statement.
On the other hand, the east-based army announced on Saturday the shooting down of a Turkish-made drone belonging to the UN-backed government's forces in southern Tripoli, accusing the UN-backed government forces of targeting civilian areas in Tripoli.
The east-based army has been leading a military campaign since April 2019 in and around the capital Tripoli, attempting to take over the city and topple the UN-backed government.
The fighting killed and injured thousands of people and forced more than 150,000 civilians to flee their homes.
The rivals have agreed to cease-fire on Jan. 12. However, both parties exchanged accusations of breaching the truce.
