Sri Lanka's military said Monday it had smashed at least 10 Tamil Tiger bunker positions in an offensive in the far north of the island that left 28 rebels and five government soldiers dead.

The fighting occurred Sunday on the Jaffna peninsula, the government-held northern tip of the island, as well as elsewhere in the north along frontlines with the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), a defence official said.
