Cairo: An unidentified cargo ship was sunk and another attacked yesterday near the eastern Libyan city of Benghazi, according to military spokesmen for the country’s internationally recognised government.
“The vessel was sunk because it had loaded fighters, weapons and ammunition to support terrorism in the eastern region,” air force spokesman Nasser Al Hassi said today.
No ship name was provided and there was no mention of casualties.
A number of ships have been attacked this year with seafarers killed too as the bitter civil war continues into its fifth year.
Its about time these vessels faced the music.
