23. April 23 wrapup:
11:30pm We're going to wrap up today's coverage. Here's a summary of the day's major developments:

* Three new explosions have rocked Tripoli, the Libyan capital.

* Fierce fighting appears to be continuing in Misurata, despite claims of victory by the rebels.

* The US has confirmed its first Predator drone strike at an undisclosed location in Libya.

* Dozens of pro-Gaddafi soldiers were reportedly killed and captured in Saturday's fighting.

* The city's Hikma hospital has confirmed 10 dead and 50 wounded.

* An aid ship chartered by the International Organisation for Migration delivered 160 tonnes of food and medicine to besieged Misurata.

11:01pm Three new explosions rocked the Libyan capital late on Saturday as NATO warplanes overflew Tripoli, AFP journalists said, after several earlier blasts in the city centre and other areas.
