Three people were reported dead in a Gaddafi regime airstrike on Ras Lanuf. The source was not clear on whether they were civilians or combatants.
Al Jazeera posted on Twitter: “Three dead in an air strike on Ras Lanuf”
The Hundi, however, reported no casualties from the strike: “Forces loyal to Muammar Qadhafi have launched an airstrike against a rebel position in a key oil port. There were no casualties in the Monday morning attack in Ras Lanouf.”
Other sources also only mentioned an airstrike but no casualties.
