The bombing took place in Pudukuduirippu, in Mullaitivu, 380 kilometres north-east of the capital.

Tamil rebels said the bombs fell on civilian areas, and children who were on their way to school were forced to run to save their lives.

“There was no casualties, but the day-to-day life was disturbed due to the aerial bombardment,” Tamil rebels of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) said in a statement.

The air force has been bombing suspected Tamil rebel targets in recent months in an attempt to weaken the rebels.
