Forces loyal to Col Muammar Gaddafi have fired rockets from Bani Walid, one of the last strongholds of the fugitive Libyan leader.
Rockets landed near those surrounding the town ahead of a Saturday deadline for loyalists to surrender.
Earlier, Col Gaddafi gave a defiant message dismissing speculation that he had fled to Niger.
The central bank, meanwhile, said 1.7bn Libyan dinars ($1.4bn; £875m) worth of gold had been sold during the conflict.
Col Gaddafi's whereabouts remain the subject of speculation - though both the National Transitional Council (NTC) and Western officials have said they have no reason to believe he has left Libya.
The NTC has been trying to negotiate a peaceful resolution to stand-offs in a handful of Libyan towns or cities still controlled by Gaddafi loyalists.
These include Bani Walid, Jufra, Sabha and Col Gaddafi's birthplace of Sirte.
