Mortar rounds fired from Libya have landed near the Tunisian border, according to the Tunisian government. There has been fighting between troops loyal to Colonel Gaddafi and rebel forces in Libya's western mountains, causing people to flee. The Libyan army has been trying to wrestle control of a key border post from the rebels. Artillery fire from Libya has landed in or near Dehiba several times in the past week. Rebels in and around Zintan have been bombarded by government forces.
