The UN has called for an immediately stop to hostilities in Libya following a day of deadly clashes between political factions in the capital Tripoli.
At least 25 peoples were killed and dozens were wounded during the fighting, the health ministry in Tripoli said.
From the deads there was a young comedian Mustafa Baraka, an official said.
Libya has been in chaos since the Nato-backed uprising in 2011 that ousted long-serving ruler Col Muammar Gaddafi.
Before this, the country had enjoyed a relatively calm period over the last two years.
On Saturday, armed forces of the internationally recognised government tried to push back a convoy of militia loyal to Fathi Bashagha, the man who a rival, eastern parliament recognises as prime minister.
There is reports of small-arms fire and explosions in several areas of the capital. Black smoke have seen rising across the city.
Emergency services said a number of hospitals has been full. People were also evacuated from areas around the fighting.
The UN's Libya mission said the fighting has included "indiscriminate medium and heavy shelling in civilian-populated neighbourhoods" and called for an immediate ceasefire.
The oil-rich country once had one of the highest standards of living in Africa, with free healthcare and free education.
But the stability that led to its prosperity has been shattered and Tripoli has seen frequent fighting between rival forces since 2011.
