Mortar and artillery duels along a de facto frontline on the contested peninsula killed the 28 and left 125 wounded, a defence ministry spokesman said.

The rebels suffered 115 dead and "many more wounded," he said.

Earlier, a ministry spokesman claimed that troops has killed 150 Tiger guerrillas during the long-range battles at the weekend.

Both sides are known to exaggerate the other's casualties in the absence of independent verification.

There was no immediate word from the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) but the pro-rebel Tamilnet.com website said there had been no rebel casualties except for four killed on Friday.

The government launched an offensive at the weekend including intense air attacks and shelling of Tamil Tiger positions south of the army's defence lines, military officials said.
