The LTTE also claimed that the Sri Lankan army on Wednesday fired artillery and rocket launchers on civilian targets, Indo-Asian News Service reported. There were no immediate reports of casualties from LTTE locations at Batticaloa in northern Sri Lanka, bombed by Sri Lankan Air Force today. Meanwhile, Sri Lankan Defense Ministry said today in Colombo that the Navy on Tuesday sunk a boat transporting arms and ammunition to the LTTE, the news agency said.
