Libya's Government of National Accord has protested what it said were "untruths" in a sent Ghbadan Salame's latest report on the conflict in the North African country.
Fayed al-Sarraj, head of the UN-recognized GNA which is based in Tripoli, summoned Salame on Wednesday "to deliver a protest note over untruths" in his report to the United Nations Security Council, it said.
Salame, in a videoconference on Monday, raised the alarm over the "increasing frequency of attacks on Mitiga", the Libyan capital's only functioning airport.
"Several of these attacks have come to a close with a pbadenger on board," he said.
Salame urged "the authorities in Tripoli to cease using the airport for military purposes and for the attacking forces to halt their targeting of it".
Mitiga has closed several times over the past few months because of a battle between GNA forces and fighters of strong military General Khalifa Haftar.
Nearly 1,100 people have been killed since Haftar launched the offensive against the capital on April 4, according to the World Health Organization.
