U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres is calling for an independent investigation of the "outrageous" bombing of a detention center for migrants near Libya's capital Tripoli, noting that the U.N. had given its exact coordinates to parties in the ongoing conflict.

The attack killed at least 44 migrants and refugees, including women and children, and injured more than 130 people.

The UN Security Council will hold an emergency meeting on Wednesday at 1500ET/1900GMT to discuss the air strike on the detention center.

The Associated Press will be operational with live positions at the United Nations. Additional broadcast facilities are available at AP's New York bureau.
