A second correspondent said he could see smoke rising from the southeast of the city after hearing four blasts. Anti-aircraft fire was also reportedly heard following the blasts.
The report of a NATO airstrike near Tripoli came after Libyan rebels said Muammar Gadhafi's forces fired a hail of rockets into the besieged city of Misrata on Thursday, as diplomatic disputes over Western bombing in Libya shadowed the fighting on the ground.
Rebels in Misrata, the lone insurgent bastion in western Libya, said 23 people died when at least 80 Russian-made Grad rockets were fired into a residential area.
They warned of a massacre if NATO did not step up its bombing under a United Nations mandate to protect civilians.
Libya's third city has been under siege for more than six weeks and international organizations warn of a humanitarian crisis. Hundreds of civilians are reported to have died.
Leaders of five so-called BRICS emerging powers -- Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa -- expressed misgivings about NATO air strikes after a meeting in China and urged an end to the two-month civil war.

Their criticism came amid splits within the Western alliance about whether more allies should participate to intensify bombing of Gadhafi's heavy weapons and break a stalemate. NATO foreign ministers were meeting in Berlin to seek a joint line.
It also contrasted with the first joint call for Gadhafi's overthrow from a group of Middle Eastern and Western countries meeting in Qatar on Wednesday. In its strongest language yet, the international "contact group" on Libya demanded that Gadhafi leave power and expressed support for the rebels.
