Anti-aircraft gunfire was heard in Tripoli early Sunday as warplanes flew over the Libyan capital, Xinhua reporters said.
Intensive anti-aircraft guns lasted about 10 minutes in the southern and southwestern part of the city as Libyans gathered in downtown Tripoli to protest the West air strike against the country.
French warplanes attacked an air defense site in Tajura, about 10 km east of Tripoli, and destroyed several armored vehicles of the Libyan government troops near Benghazi, the last stronghold of Libyan rebels, Saturday night.
The U.S. military said 112 Tomahawk cruise missiles were fired from U.S. and British warships and submarines at more than 20 coastal targets in Libya.
Libyan Parliament Speaker Mohammed Abul-Qassim al-Zwai told a press conference that foreign fighter jets hit Tripoli and Misurata, which caused many casualties.
At least 48 people were killed and 150 others wounded in the West air strikes, the Libyan state television said on Sunday.
