Libyan officials and local residents were not immediately available to give more details. Several militant groups are present in Sirte including Ansar al-Sharia which is listed as a terrorist organisation by Washington.
Libya is in turmoil with rival factions operating separate governments and armed forces. An internationally recognized government operates out of the east after a rival faction took over the capital in the summer.
