World Health Organization says fighting in Libya's Tripoli has killed at least 121 people and wounded nearly 600 since Khalifa Haftar's offensive began

Eastern Libyan forces will pursue their advance on the capital Tripoli, the head of the eastern parliament in the divided country said earlier on Saturday, despite international calls for a halt in an offensive that risks causing many civilian casualties.

But the eastern parliament head said they would press an offensive launched a week ago under Haftar, the latest outbreak of a cycle of conflict since the 2011 overthrow of Muammar Gaddafi. For its part the Tripoli government will agree to a ceasefire only if the LNA troops return back east, government spokesman Mohanad Younes told reporters.

In a separate strike the yard of a primary school was hit, a Reuters reporter at the scene said. An LNA official said the plane had targeted a camp of Serraj's forces.
