According to ground sources 9 LTTE cadres were killed and 6 others suffered injuries in this incident. The technical sources have reported the same figures . Also, one soldier was killed and five others suffered injuries due to explosions of anti personnel (AP) mines and trapped mines. Troops are consolidating their defence at present, the sources said.

Separately, troops attacked terror defences in the Kaddupulan area on the same Mannar front and destroyed an LTTE bunker stretch about 200m in length in clashes lasted from 5.30 am to 8 am. Ground troops have confirmed that 6 terrorists were killed and 5 others injured in this incident. During the subsequent search, troops have recovered 500 ammo used for MPMG machine guns, 44 AP mines and 3 booby traps. Own troops suffered no damages, the sources added.

Step by step and inch by inch reduce their habitat.
Once they have been cornered force them to lay down their arms.
I gave up the idea of setting fire.

SLA is gaining grounds. very soon LTTE will have the choice either to suicide or to put down their weapons and surrender. The photos shown in the tamilnet were taken earlier and the last photo is to carders preparing to run away from the battle field.

Mahadevan,
I use to call you Mhadevan because I had a friend by that name when I was in Govt. service.

Yes friend if an action goes on repeatedly then the cheer words too go repeatedly.

When your big boss and his father were engaged on pulling fishing net they used to say 'Odi helei heliya' 'Odi helei heliya' repeatedly while pulling the net.

These are very simple thing that you should know long time back.

Wick,
For me, you are really very interesting person.
It seems that you moved with many Tamils.
But, in some post, you simply blame entire Tamils.
You shout at Sinhalese too!!
You have used very nasty words to some LNP members!

If you worked with some Mahadevan, you must be much elder than me. So I can call you uncle????
By the way my father's name ends with Mahadeva who too worked for the Govt. and not Mahadevan!!
I saw you never used any nasty words to me. May be my name remind your old friend.
