The anti-aircraft fire and explosion were heard in Tripoli after nightfall Monday. Earlier, the head of the U.S. military's Africa command said coalition warplanes carried out more patrols in Libyan airspace during the day, with seven nations participating in the mission alongside the United States.

Speaking from his headquarters in Germany, General Carter Ham said the other nations include Belgium, Britain, Canada, Denmark, France, Italy and Spain. He said the focus of the mission, which began Saturday, has now shifted to extending the no-fly zone from eastern Libya to cover Tripoli in the west.
