A US air strike hit a house in southern Libya on Saturday where militant “leaders” were meeting, killing two of them, the spokesman of the Libyan prime minister said. Spokesman Mohamed El Sallak, in a statement on his Twitter account, said the strike was “coordinated” with the UN-backed Government of National Accord (GNA) of Prime Minister Fayez al-Sarraj. He later told AFP he was not immediately able to identify the militants targeted in the air strike. The United State has carried out frequent raids on the ISIS group in southern Libya. The militants are still active, however, in central and southern Libya.
