TIGER terrorists, operating inside the “New Safety Zone” (NFZ) in KARAYANMULLIVAIKKAL conducted three suicide missions Tuesday (12) within a matter of three hours as the troops were inching into the area.

 Conscious of the civilian factor, troops slowly but steadily started moving in after late Monday (11) evening with a view to rescuing trapped civilians who have been forced to remain there by terrorists. 

 Those LTTE suicide cadres hiding inside terrorist bunkers detonated powerful suicide kits and blew themselves up with the intention of harming the troops.

Ten Tiger terrorists were feared killed in these explosions and the troops found all the dead bodies scattered all over three affected places ahead of them.

Several valiant troops suffered injuries and were evacuated to hospitals. Military operations are in progress.

The 59 Division troops led by Brigadier Prasanna Silva have stepped-up into the on-going hostage rescue operation, with initial advances made by 6 SLLI and 12 SLLI infantrymen crossing the LTTE constructed earth bund cum ditch North of the Wadduvakal causeway, early this morning (May 12).

According to latest military reports, the initial forward military thrust was followed by the induction of Special Forces resulting in a rapid wipe-out of the remaining terrorist resistance in the area. Troops have advanced 300m further into LTTE defences after consolidating positions at the Wadduvakal causeway, military said.
