Army captures truck mounted with anti air gun; counter terror operation continues - Puthukkudiyiruppu

Sri Lankan soldiers of Army 58 Division today (Mar 30) captured an LTTE truck mounted with 12.7mm Anti Aircraft machine gun during counter terrorist operations carried out in the Irnapali area, Puthukkudiyiruppu East.

Battlefield sources said that infantrymen of 20 Gajaba Regiment (20 GR), have successfully repulsed an LTTE bid to breach the forward boundary in the afternoon causing heavy damages to the terrorists. Five bodies of slain LTTE cadres have been collected with five T-56 riffles and one radio communication set. According to the sources, the soldiers have not only crushed the terrorist assault but also pushed their forward boundaries further in to the remaining LTTE hiding areas, causing the terrorist to lose the support weapon they had brought in to the battle.
