Coalition forces have launched fresh air strikes near Misurata, a rebel-held town east of Tripoli, according to witnesses, even as pro-Gaddafi snipers continued to target residents in the town.
The town has been under siege for weeks by forces loyal to Colonel Muammer Gaddafi, with heavy casualties being reported, including four children who were said to have been killed while trying to escape from the city on Tuesday.
International forces are reported to have targeted a base south of Misurata used by pro-Gaddafi forces.
“The allied planes bombed twice so far,” one resident told Reuters by telephone. “At 12:45 [22:45 GMT Tuesday] this morning and then again less than two hours ago… They [pro-Gaddafi forces] haven’t fired a single artillery [round] since the air strike.”
