The United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) has condemned an attack against a Turkish vessel off the Libyan coast which caused the death of one sailor.
"UNSMIL urges all military actors in Libya to exercise caution in the conduct of their operations and to undertake all necessary measures to avoid targeting civilians and civilian objects and facilities in the ongoing conflict," TASS cited the document.
As Vestnik Kavkaza reported, the Tuna-1 ship, sailing under the flag of the Cook Islands, was attacked in international waters as it was carrying a drywall cargo from Spain. According to an army spokesman, Colonel Mohammed Higazi, the Tuna-1 was targeted after it was told not to break a ban on approaching the eastern city of Derna, which is controlled by Islamic State militants.
