Russia's Foreign Ministry says the Russian Embassy in Libya has been attacked by unidentified gunmen but none of its staff has been wounded.
Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Ekho Moskvy radio the attackers fired at the embassy in the Libyan capital, Tripoli, and tried to break into its grounds.
She said that according to preliminary information no one among the embassy personnel was wounded.
An attack last year killed the US ambassador and three other Americans in Libya last year.
