The casualty count from clashes that erupted between two armed groups affiliated with the Libyan government in Tripoli late on Monday has risen to 27 dead and over a hundred wounded, according to a medical source.

The Emergency and Support Medical Center confirmed that 27 people were killed and at least 106 others were injured in a "preliminary" toll of the clashes between the 444th Brigade and the Special Deterrence Force, the two most influential military forces in Tripoli.
