“Today there was a renewed violation of the truce with the targeting of civilian facilities in the capital,” the GNA said in statement, adding “we hereby suspend our participation in the military talks that are taking place in Geneva until a firm stand is taken against the aggressor and their violations.”

The attack – which the LNA says targeted a Turkish vessel carrying weapons – came after renewed negotiations started up in Geneva earlier on Tuesday.

Linked to a rival legislature based in Tobruk and led by General Khalifa Haftar, the LNA has taken control of most of Libya and has at times threatened to capture Tripoli from the GNA. Though Turkey sent troops and other military support to the country to back up the GNA last month, talks in Berlin resulted in a tentative ceasefire agreement soon after the deployment, bolstered by additional negotiations mediated by Moscow.
