Canadian fighter jets took out a Libyan ammunition depot during the first of two successful missions conducted over the past 24 hours.
Military officials confirmed Wednesday that the bombing occurred Tuesday night in the Misurata region in northern Libya.
"The mission involved four CF-18s in total," said Maj.-Gen. Tom Lawson, assistant chief of air staff.
"During such missions, Canadian fighters employ precision-guided munitions. This type of weapon . . . increases the accuracy and effect of a mission while decreasing the risk of collateral damage."
Canadian fighters are said to have deployed four of these laser guided, 500-pound bombs against the depot.
