Several NATO airstrikes have rocked Tripoli in the most intense night of bombing of the Libyan capital in several weeks.

At least seven strong explosions were heard in Tripoli in the early hours of Saturday morning, including the area surrounding the residence of embattled ruler Muammar Gaddafi, AFP reported.

Three blasts were heard around 2:20 a.m. (0020 GMT), followed by four others.

NATO planes "are currently bombing civilian sites in the capital Tripoli," said a military source quoted by Libyan state television.

However, no official report on targets or casualties has been issued.
