Libya attack: ‘Dozens killed in air strike’ on migrant centre

(UTV|COLOMBO) – At least 40 people have been killed by an air strike that hit a migrant detention centre in Libya, officials say.

Another 80 are reported to have been wounded in the explosion, which happened at a facility in an eastern suburb of the capital, Tripoli.

The majority of those killed are reported to be African migrants.

In recent years, Libya has been a key springboard for migrants seeking to travel to Europe.

The country has been torn by violence and division since long-time ruler Muammar Gaddafi was deposed and killed in 2011.
