Forces loyal to the UN-backed government have scored a series of victories against Libyan warlord Khalifa Haftar with the help of Turkish drones.
Forces loyal to the Libya's Government of National Accord (GNA) announced on Wednesday that they had retaken Tripoli International Airport, marking a major blow to general-turned-warlord Khalifa Haftar.
"Our forces have fully liberated Tripoli International Airport," said Mohamad Gnounou, a spokesman for forces supporting the UN-backed government in the Libyan capital.
In February, the UN-backed government suspended ceasefire talks in Geneva after Haftar's forces attacked key positions in the capital, including its port.
The UN-backed government in Tripoli has instead received military support from Turkey, including drones that have played a key role in its latest victories against Haftar.
