According to the statement, NATO attacked a command and control bunker complex in downtown Tripoli last night.
"While we are aware of media reports that there was damage to the North Korean embassy, we have no knowledge of possible collateral damage," it said.
"Our strikes are precise and while the possibility of collateral damage will always exist, we go to great lengths to reduce such possibilities," it concluded.
