Libyan navy ship hit during fighting in Benghazi port, smoke rising

BENGHAZI Libya (Reuters) - A Libyan navy ship docked at Benghazi port was hit during heavy fighting on Monday between the army and Islamist fighters in Libya's second-largest city, residents said. A Reuters reporter could see smoke rising from the port area, to which the army had earlier moved heavy guns to attack positions of Islamist fighters. A security source said the ship was sinking but this could not immediately be confirmed. (Reporting by Feras Bosalum and Ayman al-Warfalli; Writing by Ulf Laessing; Editing by Catherine Evans)
