NATO command conducted 149 sorties on Friday, including 56 "strike" sorties
4:44pm

NATO said aircraft under its command conducted 149 sorties on Friday, including 56 "strike" sorties designed to hit military assets.

Among the targets were tanks, ammunition storage depots, military trucks and "command and control" facilities in and around Sirte and Ras Lanuf.

Forces loyal to Gaddafi fired on the lifeline port in the besieged city of Misrata and hit several fuel depots, rebels said.

"There are still attacks by Grad missiles and our fighters are still resisting," said Colonel Ahmed Omar Bani, military spokesman of the National Transitional Council.

"They tried again to destroy the Misrata port but our fighters didn't allow them to do that," he said. "They want to leave the revolution without fuel," he said.
