Several strong explosions have shaken the Libyan capital Tripoli and smoke's been seen over the neighbourhood around leader Muammar Gaddafi's residence.
Witnesses have reported the sound of warplanes roaring overhead and more than a dozen blasts in the most intense raid since the start of NATO operations against the government.
As jets whooshed low over the city, people could be heard screaming and shouting outside a hotel where journalists are staying, along with the crackling of anti-aircraft fire.
