The troops have succeeded in capturing an area North East of Mankulam in Mullaitivu, including an LTTE runway in the Pannikamkulam area.
Providing more information on this capture, Military Spokesman Brig. Udaya Nanayakkar said the troops of the 57th Division captured the runway in the Mullaitivu District at Pannikamkulam located seven kilometres North East of Mankulam. The LTTE terrorists used this runway for their activities. He said the Security Forces are consolidating their positions in the area.

| The statement by nanabanana makes no sense??? North EAST of Mankulam would put it on the EAST side of the A9, the 57 div has not crossed the A9 yet so WTF is he talking about? I assume North WEST. |

| Mmm.... I think this is a training ground for LTTE, if there is a Runway, where are they going to keep the flights? Once a flight is landed, how can they move it to a safer place?? any connecting roads (At least) else this may be a training ground, not an Air Strip. May be Praba Horen Horen practicing to run 1500 meters, so he can run and win when SL forces chase him |

If it is an active runaway the Zlin 143s should close by. They cannot carry a Zln far away from run away.
where are they? |

well Zlins are not exactly large planes in the first place :)
my biggest worry is that SLAF of MI not being able to know about this runway earlier since this places seems to be intact... |
