Thick plumes of black smoke were visible even after nightfall from the capital, an AFP journalist reported.
Videos uploaded to social media and broadcast by Libyan media showed firefighters trying to bring the flames under control before a powerful explosion forced them to retreat.
Prime Minister of the Government of National Unity (GNU) Abdelhamid Dbayba ordered an investigation into the cause of the fire.
Interior Minister Imad Trabelsi ordered the immediate evacuation of residents of all houses “within a radius of one kilometer” from the warehouses, he announced on Facebook.
The extent of the damage is still unknown.
