The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), have killed at least 60 government soldiers in Kilinochchi, Sri Lanka according to their officials. The LTTE also wounded 150 troops.
Sri Lanka's Defence Ministry dismiss the claims saying the guerrillas had suffered heavy damages in the fighting. They also said that 13 troops were killed and 40 were wounded.
Independent verification is difficult in Sri Lanka as journalists and monitors are blocked from the frontline of conflicts.
