The military in October announced that it will not announce details of its battlefield casualties saying that it would affect ongoing operations against the Tigers.
However, the military said on Tuesday that heavy fighting continued in the northern jungle areas of Mullaittivu and Kilinochchi where the Tigers maintain their military and political bases respectively.
"Intercepted terrorist radio transmissions have confirmed heavy damages to the terrorists during these clashes," the ministry said.
The rebels did not comment on the military statement.
