[Army 3.5 km behind Kilinochchi outskirts - Military Spokesperson
Military spokesperson Brigadier Udaya Nanayakkara today (Oct 2) told media that forward elements of 57 division troops are now consolidating their defences in the area, 3.5 km south of Kilinochchi outskirts. Speaking at the weekly media briefing at the Media Centre for National Security (MCNS) he said that some elements of the 57 division have already crossed the Nachchikudha - Therumurukandi road at some locations in the Akkarayankulam area. Troops have been able to cut-off the road that connects northwestern coast and the Jaffna-Kandy (A-9) road at these locations, he further elaborated. Kilinochchi built-up area is considered to be one of the longest townships in the island that runs for about 6.5 km down the A-9 road. Also, the area stretched for about 7 km across the A-9 road from the East to West. According to the latest battlefield reports the infantrymen of 4th Sinha Regiment are operating in an area just 3.5 km south of the southern border of the Kilinochchi built-up area at present. www.defence.lk] |
