Two Libyan soldiers were killed Wednesday while five others injured during fierce clashes with Shura Council of Benghazi Revolutionaries' militant group in Benghazi.

Fadyah al-Burghathi, spokeswoman for the Al-Galaa hospital, said the hospital received two bodies after the clashes erupted in Boatni and el Lithy areas.

Three of the injured left the hospital while the two others need more medical care, she said.

Benghazi, cradle of the 2011 revolution, has been the site of regular fighting between forces loyal to the government and armed groups for more than a year.
