A blast in central Tripoli has been attributed to a Nato strike - signalling a possible switch in tactics by the forces trying to unseat Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi.
The explosion followed a fifth straight night of air strikes, adding to military and diplomatic pressure on Col Gaddafi to end his 41-year reign.
Sky News correspondent Lisa Holland, reporting from the city, said she had heard the bomb hit somewhere near the centre.
"We've heard of two bombs this morning around 8am," she said.
"The first didn't appear to detonate. The second was in the general vicinity of Colonel Gaddafi's compound - that's not to say that the compound was actually hit - but it was in the north-west direction of central Tripoli.
"The blast comes after three explosions late last night, one in the same area and two to the west of Tripoli - further out - we're told by Nato there is a big target area.
"It's the first time, as far as I'm aware, that we've had a day-time explosion here in Tripoli. Air strikes previously have been at night."
Holland added that the daytime strike "could be some sort of a change of tactics" but warned that it was too early to be certain.
"One thing we can say for sure is the military intervention continues."
Libyan state television and Arab news channel Al Arabiya said Nato raids also caused"human and material" damage near Mizda, to the south.
Nato is poised to deploy attack helicopters over Libya for the first time, with British Apaches joining in the offensive.
The decision to deploy comes as the international community tries to intensify pressure on Colonel Gaddafi to give up power.
Russia, too, for the first time, has joined Western calls for the dictator to step down.
