LTTE artillery, mortar launching pads bombed: Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka Friday claimed that its fighter jets have bombed 'artillery and mortar launching platforms' of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) at Kalmunai point in the northern district of Jaffna.
'Two separate sorties were launched around 12 noon and 1.20 p.m. The targets were accurately hit, but the exact damages to the enemy are yet to be ascertained,' the defence ministry said.
The ministry said, 'The LTTE rebels used the targeted locations to launch artillery attacks on Tamil villages in the peninsula Thursday that killed six civilians including two children and left 20 others wounded.'
The air raids came exactly a day after the pre-dawn sea-borne attack by the Tamil rebels on a naval detachment in an islet in the northern Jaffna peninsula.
