TRIPOLI, Jan. 12 (Xinhua) -- Libya's UN-backed government and the eastern-based army on Sunday accused each other of breaching the cease-fire in southern Tripoli.
The UN-backed government said in a statement that the eastern-based army breached cease-fire in Salah Addin and Wadi al-Rabee in southern Tripoli minutes after the cease-fire took effect.
On the other hand, the eastern-based army said the UN-backed government forces made 30 breaches of the cease-fire in southern Tripoli.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin on Wednesday called on the Libyan rival parties to establish an immediate cease-fire by midnight of Jan. 12.
Both the UN-backed government and the eastern-based army agreed to cease fire.
