Tripoli airport reopened after the day of shelling

Libyan capital Tripoli has been under attack for several months by the rebel forces of the Libyan National Army led by General Khalifa Haftar, with the NATO-backed Government of National Accord shutting down Tripoli's only working airport in nearby Mitiga due to repeated shelling. The airport has now been reopened after another day of missile attacks forced authorities to suspend all air traffic.
