Libyan state TV says the capital Tripoli has come under new international air strikes.
This is the third night of coalition air attacks. New explosions have been heard in Tripoli, followed by anti-aircraft fire.
The allied forces are trying to expand the no fly zone into the capital.
Meanwhile, Defence Minister Peter MacKay says four Canadian warplanes were in the air over Libya today enforcing the no-fly zone. MacKay says they patrolled the Libyan coast before returning safely to base.
MacKay says with the navy and air force both active in the Mediterranean, hundreds of Canadian military personnel are now involved in the Libya mission.
