Tripoli, Libya’s capital, was plunged into chaos as explosions and heavy gunfire echoed across several neighborhoods on Monday night, reigniting fears of renewed conflict in the war-torn country.

As of now, no official statement has been released by Libyan authorities regarding the groups involved or the scale of the clashes.
