A Sri Lanka navy patrol destroyed two Tamil Tiger boats, killing eight rebels on board, in a clash at sea off the island's northern Pooneryn region, the defence ministry said Tuesday.
The navy did not give its own losses during the battle, which occurred late Monday. The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), who have been fighting for an independent homeland since 1972, did not comment.
