Warplanes strike airport in Libyan town, limited damage - official

BENGHAZI, Tripoli (Reuters) - Two unidentified warplanes on Wednesday carried out air strikes on the western Libyan town of Zintan, damaging electricity systems but not the runway, a local official said.

Zintan is allied with the country's internationally recognised government.

Libya is caught in a conflict between two rival governments and their armed forces, who are battling for control four years after the civil war that ousted Muammar Gaddafi and which has steadily tipped the North African state into chaos.
