Gunmen loyal to retired General Khalifa Haftar stormed the GNC. Fighting in Benghazi between Islamist militants and Haftar's Libyan National Army left scores of people dead and wounded. The army announced a no-fly zone over Benghazi, reportedly to prevent Haftar's forces from using air power against Islamists there. A bomb destroyed Ansar al Sharia's radio station in Benghazi. The violence has caused the closure of Benghazi airport.
