Pro-Gadhafi forces targeted fuel tanks near Misrata Monday, hitting one, a web site loyal to Libya 's rebel forces said in a statement, apparently contradicting reports a refinery had been hit.

"Shortly before sunset, the fuel tank base in the area of Qasr Hamad was targeted by several missiles," said the statement, posted in a video on the Youtube channel benghazi17feb.

"Only one missile landed where the tanks were siuated causing damage to the power plant," it said.

Press reports late Monday had said a refinery was hit in Misrata, which is under attack from forces loyal to Col. Moammar Gadhafi.

The International Energy Agency, an authority on oil infrastructure, doesn't list any refinery in Misrata. The benghazi17feb Youtube channel is considered a credible source of information in rebel circles.

The statement said there had been no casualties from this particular attack. The video showed images of heavy smoke coming out of the tank on its Youtube page.
