US warplanes have reportedly struck an Islamic State camp in Libya, killing as many as 40 people.

Local officials said the planes struck a building in the western city of Sabratha, near the Tunisian border, where foreign workers were living.

The city's mayor Hussein al-Dawadi said the building was completely destroyed, killing 41 people and injuring six.

According to US officials, the airstrike was targeting a senior Tunisian operative linked to two major attacks claimed by Islamic State in Tunisia last year.

Thirty-eight people, including 30 British tourists, were shot dead on a beach near the Tunisian city of Sousse in June, 2015
