Counter terrorist operations continue
in Mullaittivu
Pockets of LTTE concentrations were exposed to intense military assaults
at Andankulama, at the Mullaittivu battlefront yesterday(Nov 5), as
terrorists were forced to flee with heavy casualties, military sources
said.
Security forces are operating in close perimeters of the LTTE's Mullaittivu
forward defences further denying LTTE escape routes, following the outfit's
humiliating debacles at the western and eastern Kilinochchi battlefronts.
The 59 Division troops are taking-in well fortified LTTE trench lines
and bunker overheads as the surge in Mullaittivu continue, defence sources
said. The march in Mullaittivu is phased tactically with the thick jungle
terrain and the concentration of LTTE laid land mines and booby traps.
This has resulted in minimum military casualties and optimum mobilization
of the infantry and artillery battalions to the forefront, the sources
further said.
Counter terrorist operations are continuing in the area.
