Mar 216 (AFP) - Sri Lanka's navy denied a charge by Tamil Tigers Tuesday that it fired indiscriminately at rebel-held villages in the northeast, saying the incident was a retaliatory strike. The rebel Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) said the navy launched an attack on four villages in the Trincomalee district on Monday morning.

"From 11:00 am on Monday, Sri Lanka navy continued its attack with artillery from large naval boats along the coast," the LTTE said in a statement.

The Sri Lankan military however said it carried out a retaliatory strike after a naval craft came under fire from guns within a rebel-held area of the district.

"Sri Lanka navy craft acted in self defence and fired a few rounds towards the originating point (of the fire) to neutralise it," the navy statement said.

There have been sporadic skirmishes despite agreement by both sides last month to scale down violence ahead of another round of talks at a venue in Switzerland next month on saving their troubled truce.
