The RAF has destroyed rocket launchers and Scud-missile containers in Libya, the Ministry of Defence has said.
Two Tornado fighters targeted a FROG-7 weapons system - which can fire rockets more than 40 miles (64km) - near the city of Sirte on Friday.The planes also destroyed at least 30 containers used for transporting long-range Scud missiles.
Meanwhile, Defence Secretary Liam Fox has denied the mission in Libya is taking too long.
The mission comes as Libya faces claims of scattering landmines in the besieged rebel-held port city of Misrata.
The use of Chinese anti-vehicle mines, as claimed by rebel groups and video footage, was verified by Human Rights Watch.
