More British warplanes are moving from policing the no-fly zone in Libya to begin ground attacks in the country, the Ministry of Defence has said.
Four Typhoon jets will join 16 RAF ground-attack aircraft already under Nato command.
They are all based in southern Italy as part of an international coalition to enforce a no-fly zone against Libyan leader Col Muammar Gaddafi’s regime.
Meanwhile, RAF missiles hit 12 targets around rebel-held Misrata and Sirte.
