Aug 08, 2019 (newstodate): The unruly situation in Libya is taking a toll on the aviation industry as well.
Ukrainian airlines have thus so far lost three freighter aircraft due to attacks and fire, with SkyAviaTrans reporting the latest loss of an IL-76TD freighter at Misurate Airport on August 6, 2019.
The aircraft was reportedly attacked after landing at the airport.
Conflicting reports claim that the aircraft was either carrying humanitarian shipments for an international organization - or a load of weapons from Turkey in support of the country's widely recognized government combating insurgent forces in the east of the country.
