Pentagon: No new radar emissions and no new air activity from Libya.
Pentagon describes first night of airstrikes on Libya as "very effective."
Pentagon: Benghazi is not completely safe, but the danger is much less than before.
"This is an international effort designed to support a UN mandate," says Pentagon's Vice Adm. William Gortney.
Gortney says military coalition has ability to control Libya airspace.
Gortney says there have been "dozens" of ground targets hit, but the "bomb hit assessment" is not yet in.
Gortney: We are not going after Gadhafi; allies have attacked his forces moving toward Benghazi
Gortney said he does not take seriously the call for cease-fire from Gadhafi.
Gortney says there is no evidence of civilian casualties in Libya.
Gortney says all allied air missions have returned safely.
Gortney: We will be transitioning command of the mission to the coalition.
Gortney: No-fly zone enforcement currently involves U.S., U.K., France aircraft. More countries will be joining "every day."
Gortney: Gadhafi is "not on a targetting list." "We are not targetting his residence," he says.
Gortney: Coalition now includes U.S., U.K., France, Canada, Italy, Belgium and Qatar. Other countries may be involved, but Gortney said he would let those countries announce their involvement.

MacKay referred to Gadhafi as a major terror threat, ruthless, relentless and unstable, says CBC's Connie Thiesson.
Canada's six CF-18 fighters remain stationed in Trapani, Italy, and are awaiting orders on how they will be deployed, says MacKay. The CF-18's will be used primarily to take out airport runways, crippling access for the Libyan Air Force.
Coalition airstrikes have disabled Libyan launch sites according to the Pentagon
