Unidentified gunmen fired shots at the South Korean embassy in the Libyan capital Tripoli yesterday killing two local security guards, South Korean and Libyan officials said.
Militants claiming loyalty to Islamic State said they were behind the attack, according to a statement on social media. It was not possible to verify the authenticity of the claim.
The gunmen fired from a car at the embassy compound, killing two security officers who were Libyan government employees and wounding another, Tripoli security spokesman Essam Naas said.
