Deadly clashes have broken out in Libya's eastern city of Derna between local Islamist militias and militants affiliated to Islamic State.
The fighting broke out on Tuesday night after Nasser al-Aker, a senior Islamist militant from Derna's Abu-slim Martyr's Brigade, was killed by members of IS.
IS established a base in Derna in October and the group has tightened its grip on the city in recent months.
Residents say that control of the city is split between two militant groups.
