Smoke was seen rising late Sunday in Tripoli from the area of Bab al-Aziziya, a stronghold of Libyan leader Moamer Gaddafi, satellite broadcaster al-Arabiya reported.

The opposition Lbyan Youth movement said on its Twitter account that explosions were heard in Tripoli, with large plumes of smoke billowing from Gaddafi's Bab Azizia compound, dpa reported.

Al-Arabiya reported that gunshots were heard in the rebel stronghold of Benghazi, shortly after a spokesman of the armed forces announced an immediate ceasefire across the country.
