A massive mortar and artillery battle broke out between the army and Tamil Tiger rebels in northern Sri Lanka early Monday, killing 35 rebels and six soldiers, the military said.
The fighting in the Mannar area just south of rebel-held territory broke out about 1 a.m. when a group of guerrilla fighters attacked soldiers guarding the area, military spokesman Brig. Udaya Nanayakkara said.
