A clash between two armed factions in Tripoli, Libya, resulted in at least 27 deaths and more than 100 injuries, according to a statement from the nation’s emergency services, which CNN cited. The emergency services stated in a statement that a total of 106 people had been hurt.

According to CNN, the clash began on Monday after the commander of the 444 Brigade, Mahmoud Hamza, was detained as he attempted to travel through Tripoli’s main Mitiga airport.
The Special Deterrence Force, the main rival of the 444 Brigade, which also controls the airport apprehended Hamza, CNN reported.
The reason for his detention remains unknown.
The clashes ceased late on Tuesday following an agreement reached with the UN-recognized Government of National Unity to transfer Hamza to a neutral party, as reported by state news agency LANA.

According to LANA, there were civilians among the dead. Images from the overnight battles showed smoke rising above the capital, making the fighting the worst of this year. According to LANA, the agreement calls for the end of all military operations in Tripoli, the relocation of military units to their barracks, an evaluation of property damage to both public and private property, and the issuance of compensations by the Government of National Unity.
