Nato's secretary general has urged the international community to prepare for a post-Gaddafi Libya, as the alliance steps up its campaign.
"The time to start planning is now," Anders Fogh Rasmussen told reporters following a meeting of Nato defence ministers in Brussels.
He said the alliance's three-month air campaign had been highly successful in saving civilian lives.
However, Col Muammar Gaddafi has vowed to remain in Libya "dead or alive".
He urged supporters to defy Nato and gather at his compound in the capital, Tripoli.
Earlier, more explosions were heard in Tripoli after a day of intensified bombardment on Tuesday.
