An airstrike in western Libya near the country’s border with Tunisia killed at least 40 people early Friday, according to local officials.
The strike destroyed a building in the town of Sabratha, west of Tripoli, in a region known to have an Islamic State presence.
The New York Times reported that U.S. warplanes struck an Islamic State camp in Sabratha early Friday, killing more than 30 recruits.

A Pentagon spokesperson told VOA he is aware of the report, and is checking into it, but said he has “no info to pass along at this time.”
