TRIPOLI, March 28 (Xinhua) -- Forces loyal to leader Muammar Gaddafi renewed its bombardment on Libya's town of Misrata, 150 kilometers from the capital Tripoli, on Monday despite of a ceasefire announced in the city by the foreign ministry, sources told pan-Arab Al-Jazeera TV.

The Doha-based TV did not give more details, but it said rebels are making recent advance towards the east.

Before the report on the bombardment, the Libyan foreign ministry announced a ceasefire against what it called "terrorist groups" in the town. The ministry said currently Misrata enjoys security and its public services started to return to normal.
