A man has been inured in a suspected landmine explosion in northern Sri Lanka.
It is understood that a man was out collecting firewood around the town of Ketpali when he was injured in an explosion. Locals claimed a landmine or unexploded Sri Lankan military shell was to blame.
Since the end of the civil war a number of people have been killed or injured by unexploded ordinance which has been left behind by the Sri Lankan military in previously Tamil Tiger held territory.
The man, 39, is receiving attention at a nearby government hospital.
