The blast took place in front of Benghazi’s Jalaa Hospital late on Friday, the Libyan Herald newspaper said. At least three of those injured were reported to be in a critical condition.
Daesh group, outlawed in a number of countries, including Russia, or their affiliates Ansar Al-Sharia were allegedly behind the attack.
