The foreign ministers of the 27 European Union member states will discuss Libya and Japan at a meeting in Brussels on Monday.

 

The UN Security Council adopted a resolution on Thursday to empose a no-fly zone and "all necessary measures" against forces loyal to Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi. Over 100 cruise missiles were fired over the weekend.

Libyan television reported that at least 50 civilians were killed and over 150 wounded in military attacks of the coalition forces, adding that many health and education facilities had been destroyed.

Japan's Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant was hit by a number of explosions following a 9.0-magnitude earthquake and tsunami that killed thousands on March 11.

Efforts are still underway to try to cool the overheating nuclear cores in the reactors in a bid to prevent nuclear fallout.
