Libya's internationally recognized government has suspended UN-sponsored ceasefire talks in Geneva following an attack on a port in the capital Tripoli on Tuesday, the country's presidential council said.

It is said that Libyan forces will respond firmly to the attack at the appropriate time, Reuters reported.

The port of Tripoli was attacked on Tuesday, and according to sources from the port, a warehouse was hit, and no ships were hurt.

Ships, including fuel tankers anchored in the port, were evacuated after the attack.

Libyan General Khalifa Haftar's forces said they attacked a Turkish ship carrying weapons, an unnamed Libyan National Army (LNA) military official said.

The port of Tripoli has remained open for the import of food and other supplies since the LNA began their campaign to capture Tripoli in April last year.
