At least 48 people were reportedly killed and 150 others wounded in Libya in the first round of Western-led air strikes that started yesterday, while anti-aircraft gunfire continued to roar in Tripoli early today as warplanes flew over the city.
After the strikes, Libya's Foreign Ministry said late yesterday that it considered invalid the UN Security Council Resolution 1973 that authorizes a no-fly zone over the country and demanded an emergency meeting of the Security Council.
Libya "has the right to use its civilian and military aircraft to defend itself after France violated the air exclusion zone," the ministry said in a statement.
Meanwhile, Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, in a broadcast speech, urged Libyans to "fight against aggression," saying he would open the arms depots to equip civilians so as to defend the country's independence, territorial integrity and glory.
