TRIPOLI, March 24 (Xinhua) -- A foreign airstrike on Saturday afternoon targeted a site of a terrorist group in the southern Libyan city of Ubari, according to a security official.
"An airstrike targeted Al-Shareb district north of Ubari, where the Tuaregs live, and destroyed a house with terrorists inside it," Ubari's security coordinator, Ramadan Saleh, told Xinhua.
"The airstrike took place at 12:45 local time (1045 GMT) and destroyed a number of vehicles parked next to the house," Saleh said.
The security official revealed that a number of terrorists after the strike went to the site and cut off the heads of other terrorists there and left their bodies, without knowing the reasons for this action.
Local media published images of dead bodies near the site.
Southern Libya witnesses active movement of IS terrorists who fled from Sirte, in addition to large presence of members of al-Qaida in Maghreb, due to the area's desert and mountain nature and mobility between borders with Chad, Niger and Sudan.
U.S. airstrikes occasionally target remnants of terrorists in Sirte, some 450 east of the capital Tripoli, as well as southern Libya.
