At least five people, including one child, were killed and 25 others were wounded after a rocket hit a beach in Libya's capital Tripoli on Tuesday, its health ministry said.

The blast hit the beach in front of Mitiga airport in the east of the Libyan capital, the ministry statement said.

AFP cited an interior ministry source who said there were clashes on Tuesday inside the airport perimeter between security forces and an "outlawed" group.
