SKY News: Libya: At least 25 killed as forces 'seize control of Tripoli international airport'
The UN calls for forces in the war-torn country to "de-escalate and halt military activity".
Clashes in the southern part of Tripoli have left at least 25 people dead and 80 wounded, according to Libya's health ministry.
The ministry said the victims were fighters and civilians, including a whole family who died.
