BENGHAZI--At least 19 soldiers were killed in clashes with Islamist militia on Thursday in eastern Libya, where an oil tank also caught fire in separate fighting, officials said.

A military source said the soldiers were killed in attacks launched by the Fajr Libya movement in Sirte, while the oil tank at the port of Al-Sidra was hit by rocket fire in other clashes.
