At least seven people have been killed in ongoing fighting between troops loyal to Libyan ruler Muammar Gaddafi and revolutionary forces near the opposition-held town of Ajdabiyah, Press TV reported.
The fatalities come after Gaddafi loyalists fired rockets at the revolutionaries' positions between Ajdabiyah and Brega on Saturday.
Medical sources say that at least 27 people were also wounded in the heavy fighting.
Heavy battles and explosions have been reported west of Ajdabiyah.
The revolutionaries say they hold desert terrain beyond Ajdabiyah, along a coastal road that leads to the key oil town of Brega.
Human Rights Watch has confirmed that the Libyan regime has fired internationally banned cluster munitions into residential areas in the besieged city of Misratah.
Gaddafi's forces have also attacked the coastal city with at least 100 Grad rockets.
