Argentine troops landed on the Falkland Islands during the early hours of yesterday morning in an invasion involving all three of the country's powerful armed forces.
An Argentine navy spokesman claimed that within 12 hours of the initial landing the British Governor, Mr Rex Hunt, had surrendered.
The Argentinians reported that one of their naval officers - apparently a frogman - had been killed and two soldiers injured during the early stages of the takeover.
The Argentine Navy said in a communiqué that its casualties occurred when British Marines resisted an initial landing. It added that in a tough clash a captain was killed and a lieutenant and a corporal was wounded when the first wave of Argentine troops disembarked.
The communiqué said that there were no civilian or military casualties among the British subjects.
