Athens - Greek authorities say an unidentified warplane has bombed a Greek-owned tanker ship in the eastern Libyan port of Darna, killing two crew members and injuring two more.
Citing a briefing by the ship's managers, the Merchant Marine Ministry says the Liberian-flagged Araevo was attacked Sunday while it was anchored in the harbour.
Darna is a base for Islamic extremists, who have pledged allegiance to the Islamic State group. Widespread militia violence has plunged Libya into chaos less than four years after a Nato-backed uprising toppled and killed long-time dictator Muammar Gaddafi.
The Araevo's crew of 26 consisted of 21 Filipinos, three Greeks and two Romanians.
