At least 40 people, including 20 civilians, have been killed in an explosion at an ammunition store and clashes in the western Libyan town of Garabulli.
A municipal official said the store was under the control of an armed group from the city of Misrata, but the group had left their camp after clashing with local residents.
The explosion happened as residents entered the camp, though it was not immediately clear what had triggered the blast.
A Garabulli resident said the clashes had erupted following a dispute in a shop between locals and a member of the armed group who was refusing to pay.
Following the clashes, some locals protested by blocking the main coastal road between Misrata and Tripoli.
A new U.N.-backed unity government arrived in Tripoli in March seeking to replace two other rival governments that were set up in Tripoli and the east in 2014.
