COLOMBO, June 28 (Reuters) - Sri Lankan fighter jets bombed two Tamil Tiger camps in the island's far north on Thursday, the military said, the second batch of air strikes in three days, but there were no immediate details of any casualties.

"We have hit a military base in Mullaithivu (on the northeast coast) -- it is really two camps located close to another," said military spokesman Brigadier Prasad Samarasinghe.

In a separate incident, two soldiers were killed in the northern Jaffna peninsula by a roadside bomb, the latest in a spree of such attacks in recent months amid renewed civil war.

The separatist Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam were not immediately available for comment.
