Drone strikes in Libya kill two, injure MP's Nephew amid accusations and denials

Drone strikes in Libya have resulted in the death of two individuals and caused injuries to several others, including the nephew of a Libyan member of parliament.

The strikes targeted areas near Al-Maya port in the northwest and occurred following previous attacks on Sunday.

Politicians from the eastern-based parliament have accused the Tripoli-based national unity government (GNU) of deliberately targeting the residence of a local MP.

However, the GNU has refuted these claims, asserting that the drone strikes were directed at drug smugglers and human traffickers operating in the vicinity of Al-Maya port.

Libya has faced ongoing violence for over a decade since the overthrow of former President Muammar Gaddafi in 2011 with the support of NATO.
