LTTE fighting fiercely for its last bastion

Feb 19th, 2009

(Defencewire): Heavy fighting erupted at Puthukudirippu over the last two days. Around 200 casualties are reported from the Army, which includes around 25 soldiers KIA as the Army takes on close to 600 hardcore Tigers backed by a growing softcore comprising mainly of forcibly recruited civilians.

Fighting erupted particularly along the A-35 Parantan-Kilinochchi-Mulaitivu road on the western flank as TF-4 attempts to recapture the road from the Tigers. Fighting was also concentrated around an earth bund and trench line built by the Tigers to guard the strategically located town of Puthukudirippu.
