At least 65 people lost their lives while over 100 injured after a truck bomb targeted a police training centre in the western Libyan city of Zliten, reports say.
Libyan media said the attack struck the al-Jahfal training camp.
The training centre had been a military base during the rule of ousted Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi.
News agencies say as many as 65 people died in the blast, which was heard 60km (40 miles) away in Misrata.
The security forces and rescue teams rushed to the site and started transporting injured to hospitals. An emergency has been declared in the hospitals following the incident.
