Libya's city of Derna struck by an unidentified jet

Libya’s parliament has asked the international community to conduct an urgent investigation into the airstrikes against the city of Derna on Sunday by an unidentified aircraft.

In a statement released Monday, the parliament condemned the bombing, which targeted several buildings in the coastal city’s Hay Bab Tubrok, killing four people.

This strike damaged a number of houses and destroyed residential building facades.

No one immediately claimed responsibility, but Libya is caught in a conflict between two rival factions backed by armed factions on the ground. A U.N.-backed unity government is trying to bring the factions together.
