NATO said it had no indications that an alliance air raid killed civilians in a Tripoli suburb, saying the target was a command and control bunker in a military compound.
"There was a NATO air strike in the broader area of Khellat Al-Ferjan," a NATO official told AFP on condition of anonymity.
"The target was a command and control bunker in the middle of a military compound.
"There is no indication of civilian casualties," the official said, adding there would be no investigation into the incident.
Libyan official media reported that seven civilians were killed and 18 wounded in an alliance air raid that targeted the southwestern Tripoli suburb of Khellat Al-Ferjan late on Wednesday.
The raids destroyed "a number of houses and terrorised women and children".
An earlier report by the state Allibiya television said the Khellat Al-Ferjan area where three explosions could be heard was the "target of barbarian crusaders' raids that left martyrs and wounded among the residents and destroyed their homes".
