Blasts shake two embassies in Libyan capital
Bombs exploded near two shuttered embassies in Tripoli Thursday morning, CNN reported, citing state media and eyewitness accounts.
Libyan state media, citing witnesses, said a car bomb exploded near the Egyptian embassy in central Tripoli. The second blast occurred near the embassy of the United Arab Emirates in the western part of the capital, according to residents.
No injuries were reported in either blast, but photos posted to social media appeared to show extensive damage around both buildings.
The explosions come a day after bombings killed at least five and wounded more than a dozen in two eastern Libyan cities that are strongholds for Libya's anti-Islamist government.
