Human Rights Watch reports that Islamic extremists are "terrorizing" citizens of Derna "through summary executions, public floggings, and other violent abuse." The UN Security Council expressed "profound concern" for the violence in Libya. Turkey has condemned the Libyan Air Force strikes on Mitiga Airport in Tripoli; a court in the parallel government issued an arrest warrant for Libyan General Khalifa Haftar over the airstrikes. Prime minister Abdullah al-Thinni said strikes on the capital will cease when Libya Dawn and other Islamist groups surrender. Libya Dawn forces were reportedly forced to retreat after an attempt to take Al-Wattiya airbase.
