The valiant troops continuing their dig into the remaining Wanni tiger strongholds have entered Pudumathalan North. Troops of the 55th Division entered the area after intense fighting following the capture of South of Chalai.
Our Correspondent Suneth Hewavitharana reporting from the Chalai battle front said the troops had succeeded in making headway, shattering the earth bund located in the LTTE Forward Defence Line and a line of bunkers. The Security Forces are achieving numerous victories in the Wanni battle front. Fierce fighting broke out when the 55th Division breached the earth bund of the LTTE in the Chalai Forward Defence Line last night. The Mechanized Force, the Armoured Corps and the Infantry Regiment assisted the ground troops in removing booby traps laid by the LTTE. The 8th Vijayaba Regiment and the 1st Infantry Force under the 550th Brigade commanded by Col. Kapila Ulampola of the 55th Division commanded by Brigadier Prasanna Silva achieved the victories. Intercepted terrorist communications revealed that a leader of sea tigers along with a large number of other cadres had been killed and scores were injured. The troops have entered Pudumathalan advancing from Chalai and the Lagoon area. A large number of LTTE bunkers and 10 boats were destroyed. It is believed that sea tiger leader Soosai had joined in the battle. 40 sea tigers are believed to have been killed in the fighting.
