Libyan rebels have overrun a post on the Tunisian border in a rare advance against government troops in the west of the country, BBC News reported.
The reported capture of the Wazin crossing follows fighting in the area.
A Tunisian state-run news agency said 13 Libyan soldiers, including a general, turned themselves over to the Tunisian military at the border.
The rebels control much of eastern Libya. Fighting is continuing in the besieged western city of Misrata.
AFP news agency says the rebels seized the Wazin post after up to 200 pro-Gaddafi soldiers fled to Tunisia on Thursday.
“We see rebels who control the border crossing,” one Tunisian witness told Reuters news agency by phone.
